Abstract
DSL technology enables very high bandwidth transmission in a point-to-point fashion from a customer's premises to a central office (CO), wiring center, or other logical point of traffic aggregation. Unlike many technologies that enable broadband Internet access, DSL technology does not determine a specific architecture to be deployed at either the customer's premises or in the service/access provider's network. In fact, DSL technology can be used in conjunction with a variety of network architectures. While being agnostic regarding to higher-layer protocols, there are still several critical 'protocol specific' issues that need to be addressed when deploying DSL as a solution for IP (Internet/intrAnet) access. This paper will address these issues and present a range of network architectures that incorporate DSL technology. This paper will only focus on those architectures that enable IP access. These architectures are divided into three categories: Traditional Dialled Model (TDM), frame-based (Frame Relay/Ethernet), and cell-based (ATM).
