your understanding is wrong.

Is this assumption correct?


wha ???

Aktually, cause they're one digit different,
they couldn't converge them.

Now we have to start over again.

That's why we have IPV6 today, the "telephone mistake".
And because of one stinkin digit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address

"An example of an IPv6 address is:

2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
"

See how easy to remember that is ? I found that
number on a bathroom wall once. "For a good
time, dial... 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334".

OK, now run your telephone theory past me one more time.

2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
919-333-3636-919-333-3636-919-333-3636

Damn! They're still off by one digit. What the...

This is never going to work!

*******

Do you realize how long it would take to explain this ?

In the beginning, it started with two tomato tins and
a piece of string. One tomato tin was "0", the
other tomato tin was "1". And that's where
"numbering plans" came from. "Can I talk to '1' please?"
"Speaking". When they made the string longer, you
had to put a 1- in front (long distance).

The PPPoE config should already be in the modem/router device, so by the
time the PC sees anything, it's plain old Ethernet. No need for PPPoE on
the PC.

Odd that century link just describe it as "a modem", when taking an
actual look, it is a combined modem/router/access point like everyone
else calls "a router"

ignore the PPPoE suggestion.


Oops, ignore my previous post. You're spot on.

Yeah, using a xDSL device as a modem or bridge device was/is pretty
rare, I shouldn't have believed the supplier's one-liner description.

It's still the sane old analogue telephone line until it gets a
modulator and demodulator at each end to make it a digital subscriber
line.

I don't know if I am right but I always suspect that when the telephone
went digital in the 1980's, the differnce in the transmission of the
digital conversation and data converged into the same basic system.


Went digital? POTS never went digital. Are you thinking of VoIP?

digits as a URL


Note that what follows is not a URL, but an example of an IPv4 address.

192.168.01.01
919-333-3636

That's an interesting theory. Alas, it's completely wrong. :-)

You are the one saying it's not a modem and yet you don't understand
how it works! Paul gives a good description but note that the word
modulation is used.

Transmission only went digital between exchanges. The line from the
exchange to the phone is still analogue. It's converted to digital in
the exchange, sent to the target exchange and then converted back to
analogue and sent to the other parties phone. Otherwise everyone would
have had to replace their handsets with ones that contain D/A and A/D
converters.

I assumed this because of the a telephone number is the same number of

192.168.01.01

No, that assumption is not correct. What about an IP address of
1.2.3.4, it exists and someone will (most likely) be using it. If you
are adding leading zeroes your example must be 192.168.001.001 since
each value can be from 0 to 255.

The numbers are an IP address, a url is in letters (www.example.com).

By strict definition, a router receives a digital packet from one port, and
uses that packet's destination address info to select which other port to
sent it out of, thus 'routing' it to its destination.


In the UK domestic 'routers' connect to a local Digital Subscriber
Line Access Multiplexer (property of OpenReach) that routes your
traffic to somewhere in your ISP's network before it hits the
'Internet'.


The DSLAM is the equipment that places the DSL data onto the analog
subscriber phone line, and is located somewhere between the phone switch
and the subscriber. These days they are usually co-located on premise with
the telephone switch.

For outgoing data, the DSLAM takes the packet off of the DSL line and
passes it on to the provider's router to send it off to its destination on
the internet.
