[LibreQoS] [Bloat] [Rpm] [Starlink] On FiWi

[dan]

end users are still going to want their own router/firewall.  That's
my point, I don't see how you can have that on-prem firewall while
having a remote radio that's useful.

I would adamantly oppose anyone I know passing their firewall off to
the upstream vendor.   I run an MSP and I would offer a customer to
drop my services if they were to buy into something like this on the
business side.

So I really only see this sort of concept for campus networks where
the end users are 'part' of the entity.

I perceive two choices for the split, one at the PHY DAC or, two, a minimalist 802.3 tunneling of 802.11 back to the FiWi head end. Use 802.3 to leverage merchant silicon supporting up to 200 or so RRHs or even move the baseband DSP there. I think a split PHY may not work well but a thorough eng analysis is still warranted.
