Title:Emerging High-Speed Internet Services and Applications
over xDSL Access Loops

Abstract:

This presentation will focus on harnessing the multimegabit bandwidth
provided by equipping ordinary telephony loops with ADSL technologies
for emerging high-speed services delivery. 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.
