Hi Michiel!

First tests did not show any issues.
But it was never rolled out excpet a small trial group, so it may be possible that some issues lurked there.

 MV>>> You may be the first DS-Lite node. ;-)
 RM>> Not if I can evade it ;)
 MV> Do they have "zwangsrouter" in Austria?
 MV> If so, you may not be in a position to avoid it..

Yes.
The cable the router is owned by the Telco.
Same with xDSL, but there you get the user/pass to use a different CPE.
(For vectoring enabled VDSL2 lines you need to use the whitelisted CPE).

In both cases you can use a router behind the CPE.
(Bridge mode in cable and "Singleuser" in xDSL)

CU, Ricsi
