Specifically, we will discuss the implementation of new service concepts employing open Internet protocols over ADSL access loops. We will also discuss the detailed end-to-end services delivery architecture, to enable invention and implementation of new service concepts over ADSL loops. We will discuss the important technical issues that need to be addressed prior to a large-scale new services deployment over ADSL loops. Of particular interest is the emergence of Internet protocols (IP dialtone) as a ubiquitous technology to interconnect disparate networks and deliver amazing new services (esp., web-based) to end-users. In this context, we will describe specific ADSL IP/Ethernet and IP/ATM services delivery architectures, including appropriate core network and multi-ISP connectivity issues and possible solutions to key issues. We will also discuss simple practical means to provision the future Internet to provide reasonable real-time QOS for multimedia applications.
