Avoid transfer volume limit by introducing the optical line "NURO Access"

For the verification of bandwidth restrictions and distributed storage that are becoming more familiar,

In the author's house, two lines have been introduced as the main line of "au Hikari Home 10 Giga" with a maximum of 10 Gbps and a 1Gbps "FLET'S Hikari Next" for testing, but here is "NURO" as the third line.I decided to introduce "Access Standard".

The trigger was a blockchain -related distributed network node.Multiple nodes were operated in the test for verifying the distributed storage, but this started to use the up band with a good transfer amount (about 10GB per hour), and the bandwidth restrictions from the line business operators being used.I was about to get it.

As a result, there was no bandwidth restriction, but given the possibility that the number of distributed network tests would increase in the future, we decided that a line should be prepared without much care of bandwidth restrictions.

In cases where the amount of transferring line is required for fixed lines, the standards may differ depending on the business operator, but in the au Hikari used by the author, the following is described in the important matter manual.

"Home type, condominium mini giga type, and condominium giga type Customers who use giga type continue to send more than 30 gigabytes per day (sending up data), the maximum speed of sending up data is reached at a certain level.It may be restricted. "

Perhaps it is a condition for the former P2P user, but it is a case -by -case case whether a bandwidth restriction under this condition actually occurs.

According to the following documents published by the Japan Internet Provider Association, there is a problem whether it is a "confidential infringement of communication" or "legal business act", and it is clear that it is judged in a fairly detailed case.

According to a questionnaire survey conducted by the association, 50 % (n = 14) of fixed communication operators who responded to the questionnaire conducted bandwidth control, and 71 % of the bandwidth controls are implemented.I answered.

On the other hand, the main applications that are assumed that bandwidth controls are required to require a need for OS, software update and video/music.It shows the current situation in which the bandwidth is being squeezed even in traffic in daily use, rather than a special application like P2P.

The increase in pure users due to the recent spread of teleworks has also been influenced, and many users are communicating at the same time, which assumes cases where a large amount of trahick occurs in the entire network compared to normal assumptions.It is done.The bandwidth control of the fixed line seems to be becoming more familiar, not just for conventional special users.
