  2. Lecture Objectives • Introduction to DSL • Devices used in DSL Technology • DSL Equipment • DSL Modem • DSLAM • How DSL works? • DSL Modulation • CAP • DMT • DSL Advantages and Disadvantages • DSL vs. T1/E1 lines

  3. Introduction to DSL • Digital Subscriber Line provides high speed Internet access using regular telephone lines. • It has the ability to move data over the phone lines typically at speeds from 256kbps to 1.5Mbps – up to 25 times quicker than the fastest analog modems available today (56kbps) • Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology is a modem technology that uses existing twisted-pair telephone lines to transport high-bandwidth data, such as multimedia and video, to service subscribers

  4. DSL • DSL is a technology that allows high speed data transmission over normal telephone lines at low cost. • There is minimal load on the CO • The ISPs can provide multimedia services using the much higher speeds than offered by normal modem connections. • There are many flavors of DSL, the higher the frequency the greater the effect of distance and crosstalk.

  5. Low Data Rates using Dial up Modems • Why ordinary modems supports low data rates? • Telephones were invented for carrying human voice not for data • Human voices can be carried in a frequency range of 300 to 3,400 Hertz • At the end point of local loop in the end office, the wire runs through a filter that attenuates all frequencies below 300 Hz and above 3400Hz, almost 4KHz band • Data are thus also restricted to this narrow bandwidth. • Standard phone service limits the frequencies that the switches, telephones and other equipment can carry.

  6. DSL Design Considerations • A few Design considerations were: • Service must work over existing infrastructure (local loops) • It must not effect the customers telephone and fax machines • It must be much faster than 56 Kbps • It should always be on, with just a monthly charge but no per-minute charge.

  7. What DSL does? • When a DSL customer subscribes, the incoming line is connected to a different kind of switch at the end office, one that does not have this filter, thus making the entire capacity of local loop available. • In most cases, the wires themselves have the potential to handle frequencies of up to several-million Hertz. • Modern equipment that sends digital (rather than analog) data can safely use much more of the telephone line's capacity, and DSL does just that.

  8. Introduction to DSL • Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) gives you broadband access over your existing copper telephone wires • A DSL connection to the Internet is a high-speed, ‘always on’ (you don’t need to dial up your ISP each time you want to connect)

  9. DSL standardization • The ANSI T1E1.4 working group are responsible for overseeing the development of the various DSL technologies. • The European Technical Standards Institute (ETSI) also contribute from the European point of view.

  10. How does DSL Technology Works? • ADSL works by splitting the phone line into 2 frequency ranges . • Voice Traffic (below 4KHz) • Data Traffic (above 4KHz) • Upstream • Downstream • This makes it possible to use the line for phone calls and data network access at the same time.

  11. DSL Equipment • ADSL uses two pieces of equipment: • DSL Modem / Transceiver • At customer end • point where data from the user's computer or network is connected to the DSL line. • DSLAM (DSL Access Multiplexer) • At the service provider end (end office) • DSLAM takes connections from many customers and aggregates them onto a single, high-capacity connection to the Internet.

  12. DSL Modem • DSL Modem • At the customer's location, there is a DSL transceiver, which may also provide other services. • Most residential customers call their DSL transceiver, a DSL modem. • The DSL transceiver or modem can connect to a customer's equipment in several ways, though most residential installation uses USB or 10BaseT Ethernet connections.

  13. DSL Modem • At the customer's location, there is a DSL transceiver, which may also provide other services. • Most residential customers call their DSL transceiver a DSL modem. The engineers at the telephone company or ISP call it an ATU-R (ADSL Termination Unit - Remote). • The DSL transceiver or modem can connect to a customer's equipment in several ways, though most residential installation uses USB or 10BaseT Ethernet connections. • An DSL modem performs the same task as a conventional modem in that, it converts the digital computer signals into analog signals that can be sent down a telephone line.

  15. DSLAM • A DSLAM is a network device, usually at a telephone company central office, that receives signals from multiple customer DSL connections and puts the signals on a high-speed backbone line using multiplexing techniques. • Depending on the product, DSLAM multiplexers connect DSL lines with some combination of ATM, Frame Relay, or IP networks.

  16. DSLAM • ADSLAM is a network device, usually at a telephone company central office, that receives signals from multiple customer DSL connections and puts the signals on a high-speed backbone line using multiplexing techniques. • It also known as ATU-C (ADSL Termination Unit - Central Office) • Depending on the product, DSLAM multiplexers connect DSL lines with some combination of ATM, Frame Relay, or IP networks.

  19. PPPoE • Protocol used in DSL technology • PPPoE stands for Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet. • PPP is usually used over serial communications like dial-up modem connections. • Many DSL Internet service providers now use PPP over Ethernet because of its added login and security features.

  20. xDSL • DSL is also known as xDSL, with the ‘x’ standing for various kinds of DSL technologies. • These technologies differ in the connect speed and connection (asymmetric or symmetric) they provide • The term xDSL refers to a number of similar yet competing forms of DSL technologies • E.g. ADSL, SDSL, HDSL, HDSL-2, G.SHDL, IDSL, and VDSL. • xDSL promises to deliver high-bandwidth data rates to dispersed locations with relatively small changes to the existing Telco infrastructure. • DSL Connection lets you use your telephone lines for making and receiving calls and for Internet access simultaneously

  21. DSL Technologies • SDSL • HDSL • HDSL-2 • G.SHDSL • ISDN Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) • VDSL

  22. ADSL vs. SDSL • A DSL service can be symmetric, in which the downstream and upstream speeds are identical (SDSL), or asymmetric in which the downstream speed is faster than the upstream speed (ADSL).

  23. ADSL • Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) technology is asymmetric. • It allows more bandwidth downstream—from central office to the customer site—than upstream from the subscriber to the central office. • This asymmetry makes ADSL ideal for Internet/intranet surfing, video-on-demand, and remote LAN access. • Users of these applications typically download much more information than they send.

  24. ADSL • ADSL service has a maximum distance of 18,000 feet (5,460 m) between the DSL modem and the DSLAM • For speed and quality of service reasons, many ADSL providers place an even lower limit on the distance. • At the upper extreme of the distance limit, ADSL customers may experience speeds far below the promised maximums, whereas customers close the central office or DSL termination point may experience speeds approaching the maximum

  25. ADSL Frequency Bands • The ADSL divides the 1.1 MHz spectrum available on the local loop into 3 frequency bands: • POTS • Upstream • Downstream • This is achieved using FDM • ADSL is a physical layer standard

  26. SDSL • Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line (SDSL) is a rate-adaptive version of HDSL and, like HDSL, is symmetric. • It allows equal bandwidth downstream from an NSP's central office to the customer site as upstream from the subscriber to the central office. • SDSL supports data only on a single line and does not support analog calls.

  27. DSL Advantages • Static IP Address (this is an assigned number that is the signaling method used for all communication over the Internet) • Surf and talk on the phone at the same time • Up to 140 times faster than analog modems • “Always On” connection (No waiting to “dial in”) • Unlimited Internet Access • Your home has its own dedicated connection • Your connection is highly reliability • Your connection is highly secure

  28. DSL Disadvantages • Expensive • Distance dependence • Access • Asymmetry • Limited availability • Very new technology • Low or no CIR  (Committed Information Rate).
