Quote from: sjrinfroyle It's available on Bethere who are LLU
Not really, Be are undertaking a SMALL trial at present.
I think that UKonline also did some work on SRA before they closed down.

Quote from: nozzer I've heard rumours that BT has introduced SRA on ADSL2+.
What BT are presently introducing on 21CN WBC (ADSL2+, ADSL2 and ADSL1) is not seamless rate adaptation (SRA) but what has been called quantisation. For SRA transmission speed (bit rate) continuously adapts to line conditions - increasing or decreasing. However with quantisation the transmission speed (bit rate) remains fixed once sync is gained, but the IP Profile is immediately set to 88.2% of this. If line conditions deteriorate, as now sync could be lost and be regained at a lower speed. If line conditions improve it would require a user-initiated re-sync to achieve a higher sync speed - but the benefit would be seen immediately*.
Target noise margins will still apply, and as now re-syncing too often is likely to cause target noise margin to increase.
Since IP Profiles when quantisation is in operation are 88.2% of sync speed they will generally not be round numbers.
* Plusnet have still to announce how the Plusnet profile (Current line speed) will be adapted to work with quantisation.

Hopefully, the answer is that it will be completely removed as in an all IP system, it is redundant.
It was also truly not needed in an ATM world, but BT fooled enough people enough of the time into believing it had 'some use'.
But us Market1/20CN/IPSC users will still be unable to benefit from this.

Quote from: itsme Why is it not needed?
or, indeed, why IS it needed?
At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.
Opinions expressed in forum posts are those of the poster, others may have different views.

Quote from: itsme Otherwise the BT system will have to control the speed or buffer the data or drop the data.
Every digital data communications system on this planet includes [1] flow control and [2] collision/error detection. UDP packets make this a little harder, but not impossible.
Only BT implements this scheme, the LLU providers do not.

Quote from: godsell4 the LLU providers do not.
Being on an LLU circuit without an IP Profile I have to say there's no sign of the network failing, locally or generally.
The other protocols in the system deal with traffic more than adequately.
I'd love to see an explanation from a suitably-qualified person at BT to explain what value it has these days, for BT at least.
(or why they ever thought it would)
My suspicion is that it was designed to deal with a perceived problem that has long gone away (and may never have existed) and that they just couldn't drop it.
The "new" fixed % of sync speed version is effectively abandoning it without actually admitting so.
