Implementing ADSL

Looks at the business drivers and financial models associated with ADSL implementation. This book teaches how to estimate ADSL service demand, revenue, capital, and ongoing expenses over the short and long-term. It also helps review the status of ADSL, G.Lite, and other xDSL technologies, cable modems, and other alternatives.

Understand ADSL's physical infrastructure, including splitters and other premises equipment; DSLAMs and other central office equipment; aggregation, access, and core networks; digital loop carriers; gateways; caching solutions; and other key elements. The author also reviews a wide range of ADSL services, including end-to-end ATM virtual circuits, PPP connections, bridging, routing, voice, video, and portals. You'll find seven detailed implementation scenarios, complete with diagrams and configuration listings based on actual deployments:
*Residential and corporate Internet access
*Telecommuting
*Portals and media distribution
*Internet wholesaling
*Corporate intranets and extranets
*Voice over IP
*Video streaming Whether you are a network manager, architect, administrator, or engineer, Implementing ADSL brings together crucial information and insight for making the best possible decisions about today's most important access technology. 0201657600B04062001
