Ethernet over VDSL2 Converter

what specific device(s) are you using? typical north american standard is about 40 Mbps up/down over a relatively short distance (say copper within a building or small complex of buildings like a campus environment. depending on the equipment you can bond these together to get a higher overall throughput from the modem/bridge you're using.

Hello, rpalmeira22, thanks for the reponse. The device is manufacturered by Planet, and its 100/50Mb device. Well, these two buidlings that are connected with these dwo devices are around 300-400 meters away, but I believe it uses wires from the phone company, so I am curious how it works? how do you connect these two sites? How does this work?

I knew all that info, but my question still remains: how does my PC find another PC with this converter?

Ah-a, now I understand it. I think it is CO and CPE setup, private point to point link. If there where two Internet connections, and VPN tunnel, then there would be no need for VDSL2+ adapters, right?

I don't have any more informations at the moment, since I was able only to write down hardware specification.

if you had to independent Internet connections you would still need the VDSL2+ adapters but instead of it being setup as a private point to point link between both sites, it's a private point to point link between site A and the Central Office and Site B and Central Office. Then out to the public internet, and you have a VPN connection running over the public connection to secure your point to point traffic.

What exactly do you mean by Central office? Lets say there are two sites (by site I mean my LAN), each located in different city. Where would Central offices fit in?

the term "central office" is kind of a misnomer. It can mean different things depending on what you're talking about. The basic definition is that it's the phone company building where you get the physical circuits from. Sometimes called a wire center. So in the case you talk about where you have two different cities, there is a central office in Stuttgart and your office there will get it's DSL circuit from that central office. From there the traffic will ride on a service providers network to the central office in Hamburg which is where your office there gets it's physical DSL circuit from.

rpalmeira22, thanks for all the comments. I appreciate it. I have found out how is connection made. They have placed their own telephone cable from one building to another, so this two converters are used as CO AND CPE, most probably.

Thanks for all the info.
