Why would you want to do that?

It doesn't run over Ethernet, it runs over GPON and I've never bothered 
to look at what the protocol is. There's a fibre modem, and what comes 
out of that is cat5(ish) running TCP/IP (4 and 6) over Ethernet.

BT provide a second box, which is a standard ADSL modem/router - but the 
ADSL is turned off. It's connected to the fibre modem over Ethernet, And 
I think it does all the firewall work as well ad being an Ethernet 
switch and an WiFi hub.
