How big is your G.INP DTU ?
« on: September 26, 2020, 08:55:07 PM »

Questions for those of you who have G.INP. I don’t know anything about the subject, just trying to understand- I am in the middle of reading the standards doc. I have PhyR rather than true G.INP and my modems do not list the G.INP standard parameters unfortunately, so I don’t have enough information to allow me to derive the DTU size. Perhaps someone who has a full stats listing will help.

See also https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,21823.msg376621.html#msg376621
I would be interested to see how much people differ.

I tried a search through old forum posts, which wasn’t easy, but I found this stats listing: https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,19056.msg339032.html#msg339032

That gives Q = 8 and N = 248 so DTUsize = Q * N = 8 * 248 = 1984 bytes. Is that correct?

Why the variation? I can understand why it needs to vary to follow the different RS-coded block sizes (ie block that includes R bytes appended) That is roughly double the 960 bytes calculated in the first post linked to (from my previous post).

I would have thought that a large DTU size is a bad thing? Dial-up modems IIRC only use a small DTU size in order to guard against the possibility of a packet never getting through because it gets corrupted and then so does its retransmitted copy, and the next, etc etc. Also a small DTU can be transmitted quickly and that part of the original packet has a lower probability of being corrupted; in fact the only bad thing is the header overhead on the DTU.

Hi Weaver,

I will, since I'm in the relatively rare situation of having actual G.INP on ADSL2+ so you might find this useful. However, it will have to wait until the weekend as my ISP wants to keep monitoring their supplied router (no stats output) this week after Openreach fixed a fault .

Excellent. Who's your ISP and what is your modem?

My ISP is NowTV and I am connected to Sky's MSAN (Broadcom chipset) in the LCCAF exchange. I'm currently using the supplied ER115 modem/router, but will be switching back to my TP-Link Archer VR600v1 (BCM63168 chipset) this weekend. I have unlocked the VR600, so can get the same stats you get from your Zyxel VMG1312-B10As.

Re: How big is your G.INP DTU ?

Would anyone be willing to post their stats in this thread?

If you ever need any stats for comparison, my live stats are viewable from https://kitz.co.uk/linestats/index.htm

The page you are wanting is
https://kitz.co.uk/linestats/fullstats.htm

Please note due to me suffering from a daily SHINE defect that usually only lasts a few seconds but is fine the rest of the day, it normally does OK as far as DLM is concerned before G.INP as it causes few errored seconds.   
Not so good with G.INP though and DLM has 'penalised' the line by setting the profile to re-tx high and gradually kept banding my sync speed down to 60Mbps. 
Suspect the DLM may use LEFTRs and SEFTRs as opposed to ErrSecs/SES to monitor lines with retransmission.

From memory upstream G.INP is not defined in the standards for ADSL2+.
