Additional IP range for ADSL users
“Telkom will introduce an additional range of IP addresses for ADSL users. The new IP addresses are needed as a result of the new ESRs (BRASs) which are being installed in the network – i.e. growth of the ADSL service,” said Lulu Letlape, Telkom’s Group Executive for Corporate Communication. Telkom is confident that the increase in available IP addresses will enable it to better structure the network and service deployment.
“Through this process, Telkom wants to better utilise the available addresses. Some of the IP addresses will be reserved for new routers which will be installed in the future. Importantly, more IP’s will enable Telkom to better structure the network and service deployment,” said Letlape.
Telkom explains its IP address policies: “Telkom uses IP’s as any other network resource and they need to be increased from time to time to deal with extra demand/service roll out. Telkom buys IP’s in blocks to do long-term planning based on design rules.”
