Here’s what you need to know if you’re considering Bell or Rogers.

Service Overview

TPIA is a service offered to Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) by Rogers Cable. The service allows ISPs to provide their End- Users with high-speed Retail Internet Service via DOCSIS compliant cable modems attached to Rogers cable plant. To use the service, the ISP must connect to the aggregated Point Of Interconnect (POI) operated by Rogers. The aggregated POI is located at York Mills. Once connected at the POI, the ISP can offer service to End-Users served by the aggregated POI.

Service component

The components which, collectively, make up a third party ISP’s Third Party Residential Internet Service offering are depicted in the conceptual diagram below. It is important to note that the Cable Modem, End-User PC, RBS Transport Network and the ISP Network are not part of the Rogers’ TPIA service.

Routing

The Aggregated TPIA model is based on one MPLS VPN (vrf) per Phub for each ISP to segregate the traffic between PHUBs. The aggregated POI router will have a default route inside each VPN pointing to the ISP router, and propagate it to the same VPN on all CMTSes through MP-BGP. The default route will be configured to use the directly connected ISP router from the POI router, as the next hop. End-users’ traffic will follow the default route to reach their upstream ISPs respectively. The ISP router must be configured with static routes pointing to CPE IPv4 blocks for the specific PHUBs on the assigned VLANs. These VLANs will be provided by ISP to Rogers. The CPE IPv4 blocks must be provided by ISP.

VLAN Assignment The 1xGigE or 10xGigE links facing the ISP router will be configured as the trunk in Dot1Q mode to allow the traffic on VLANs coming from different PHUBs. A unique VLAN will be assigned to each physical link for each PHUB and these VLANs will be provided by ISP. These VLANs will be configured on the aggregated POI router on the backhaul links and will be mapped to the ISP network via the Dot1Q trunk. The VLANs must be unique on each physical link for each PHUB.

High-Level Network Diagram for aggregated TPIA

The following diagram shows the network interconnections on the aggregated POI. The diagram shows the scenario when an ISP has chosen RBS as a backhaul provider. Rogers will utilize its Transport Network to provision the backhaul from aggregated POI location at York Mills and terminate at 151 Front Street. Rogers will then handoff the fibre at the demarcation patch panel located in Meet Me Room

In today's fast-paced digital world, the demand for higher bandwidth and faster transmission speeds is ever-increasing. As enterprises and data centers shift towards 100G Ethernet data transmission, MikroTik stands at the forefront with its latest offering: the CRS504-4XQ-IN Switch.

The CRS504-4XQ-IN is not just another switch in the market. It's your compact, energy-efficient gateway to the world of 100 Gigabit networking. Designed as the next logical step for those looking to upgrade from 10 or 40 Gigabit networks, this switch boasts multiple powering options and dual hot-swap power supplies.

In the rapidly evolving world of networking, the demand for faster data transfer rates is relentless. As more PCs and client devices ship daily with 2.5G ports, the market for multi-gigabit speeds is expanding at an unprecedented rate.

Until recently, the leap from 1G to 10G was a costly endeavor for many. However, the landscape is shifting, and MikroTik's CRS310-8G+2S+IN is at the forefront of this change.
