third party router

should i enable bitswap? Enabling Bitswap could cause issues with the DLM?

It doesn’t on my Draytek, but it’s enabled by the exchange equipment.  Not me.

[duck200]

what do you mean

[licquorice]

The DSLAM decides if bitswap is implemented or not, not you. All the setting does is enable it to be implemented.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear.  I was trying to avoid getting too technical.

Draytek is a brand of router.  I use a Draytek 2762.

As Liquorice says, whether bitswap is used or not is determined by the equipment managing the line at the exchange.

@WSH  The DSLAM is at the cabinet not the exchange.

[WSH]

@pippincp. Yes, quite right.  I thought somebody would pull me up for that.

As I said, I’m trying to keep it non-technical for the OP.  Does the OP even know what a cabinet is, let alone a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer?  Not everyone is as knowledgeable as us and there’s something to be said for not blinding people with science.
