Overview This paper covers access network performance analysis by deploying ATM over ADSL within Telecom Italia experimental department "EXANET" (Experimental ATM Network). In the scenario presented in this paper, data traffic leaves customer site as ATM traffic running over ADSL modem links, gets aggregated via DSLAM (DSL Access Multiplexer) at the central office (CO) and then dropped onto the high-speed ATM switching fabric. Italian telephone company was eager to use ADSL as a way to relieve congestion on circuit-switched voice telephony system increasingly bogged down by the growth of the Internet and long data transmissions.

What's the fuss about... broadband communications

What's more, a fully contended consumer ADSL line (50:1) gives a lower possible throughput than a clean 56K modem. It is all very well having 100 megabytes of storage space, for example, but this is of minimal comfort if it is only accessible over...

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Circuit or packet, clean or dirty?

The move from circuit- to packet-switched IP networks leaves communications companies in a strange position. The most successful attempts see the prescriptive routing and priority of packets so the end-to-end circuit, although based on packets...

BT's new trick: 21CN
