Implementation of Next Generation DSL Networks

Abstract
Most of the existing legacy DSL networks, about 80 million lines world-widely, adopted ‘ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) over DSL’protocol architecture for the effective interworking with the ATM-based regional backbone networks and for the effective support of native ATM-based multimedia application services. Recently, however, the regional backbone networks are moving towards Metro Ethernet networks, instead of the ATM networks, and most of the current multimedia applications are If-based, not native ATM-based. These environmental changes push the architecture of DSL networks to be accordingly changed, and the‘Ethernet over DSL’protocol architecture, instead of existing‘ATM over DSL’, is tried to be applied to the implementation of next generation DSL networks such as VDSL(Very high-rate DSL) . In this paper, we propose two different implementation models for next generation DSL networks in Metro Ethernet backbone environments, respectively EA(Ethernet-to-ATM) implementation model and RE(Ethernet-to-Ethernet) implementation model. And, a comparative analysis focused on the performance and the backward compatability with the legacy DSL networks will be presented.
