IP Service Intelligence at the Network Edge: Differentiation for DSL Providers
Overview The market for Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) services is burgeoning; new market entrants are spurring intensified competition for both residential and business customers. In this environment, best-effort Internet access no longer offers significant differentiation. To be competitive, service providers--including Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs), Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs), Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Inter-Exchange Carriers (IXCs), Application Service Providers (ASPs), and others--must offer a much wider range of high-value services, such as toll-quality Voice over DSL (VoDSL), Frame Relay, corporate virtual private networks (VPNs), and real-time video streaming. In addition, provider network platforms must cost-effectively offer a wide range of services to a broad base of subscribers. Network platforms with Internet Protocol (IP) service intelligence scale easily, enabling service providers to respond quickly to subscriber growth. They support the widest possible range of value-added broadband services, allowing providers to operate at peak cost-efficiency in today's ATM-dominated networking environment, as well as migrate seamlessly to tomorrow's IP-centric networking environment. This Technology Guide examines the key elements of IP-optimized DSL networking platforms and explains how they support successful DSL service strategies. An IP test at the end of the Guide serves as a checklist for evaluating a DSL platform's ability to cost-effectively deliver competitive broadband services.
