I think you might getting confused here. The building blocks are just the same for a typical ADSL connection.
Yes , thanks for persevering !
With NBN you would typically have:
Ethernet switch<---> ADSL router<---> NBN terminator<---> network<----> ISP
(where terminator is a bit more fancy)
Just two more dumb questions regarding the' NBN situation' , if I may : 1/ the 'ADSL router ' connects to the NBN terminator via Ethernet; is it actually ADSL ; I thought ADSL was a phone-line technology ? 2/ It seems as though the NBN terminator can be accessed by NBN/ isp somehow; you previously described this as : " NBN appears as an (long) Ethernet connection all the way to your ISP " can you elaborate on this at all because, with the help off the explanations above and below; I am certainly much clearer regarding 'public' and 'local' IP addresses thanks muchly Rohan McLeod
