DSL • IS8040 • Data Communication Theory and Practice • William McCartney
Where is DSL • began in 1998 • every major telephone company in • Europe • U.S.A. • Canada • Asia Pacific areas
What is DSL • DSL - digital subscriber line • continuous connection • dedicated bandwidth • digital therefore no audio to digital conversion causing a loss of bandwidth
What is DSL • achieves broadband speeds over ordinary phone lines (T1 requires special line installation) • carries voice and data • downstream connections vary from 512 kbits/sec to 1.544 mbits/sec • upstream connections typically at 128 kb/sec
Types of DSL • ADSL - asymmetric DSL • SDSL - symmetric DSL • IDSL - ISDN (integrated services digital network) DSL • HDSL - high bit rate DSL • HDSL2 - high bit rate DSL 2 • VDSL - very high speed DSL • G.Lite - DSL Lite - splitterless DSL or universal DSL • MDSL - multi-rate DSL • RADSL - rate adaptive DSL
ADSL • asymmetric DSL • Typically 8 Mb/s downstream • (125 times faster than 56K modem) • Typically 640 kb/s upstream • 6Mbps 12,000 ft 24awg • 6Mbps 9,000 ft 26awg • 1.5Mbps 18,000 ft 24awg • 1.5Mbps 15,000 ft 26awg
SDSL - symmetric DSL • Also known as single line DSL • Same rate upstream and downstream - typically 2.3mb/sec • More suitable for push/pull communications • Good up to 10,000 ft
IDSL • Integrated services digital network digital subscriber line (ISDN) • Uses 2 x 64K channels and 1 x 16K channel • 144kb/sec on existing phone lines • specifically designed for homes and offices too far from phone company’s central office (CO) to subscribe to ADSL
IDSL • Good up to 18,000 ft without repeaters • ISDN passes through the CO’s voice network • IDSL bypasses the voice network (uses a special router at phone company) • dedicated services billed at a flat rate as opposed to ISDN which requires call setup and may have per-call fees
HDSL • Direct replacement for traditional T1 lines • 1.54Mbps up to 12,000 ft • Most mature of all DSL technologies • Uses 2 copper pairs
HDSL-2 • Newer version of DSL technology also known as high-speed DSL • symmetric technology intended to replace T1/E1 lines & older generation HDSL technology • uses single pair of copper wires • 1.5mb/sec up to 12,000 feet (3,650 meters)
HDSL-2 • Supports • voice • data • video • using • ATM • frame - relay • private line T1 service
VDSL • Very high speed DSL • transmits high speed data over existing phone lines • fast rates over relatively short distances • 51Mbps to 55Mbps up to 1,000 feet (300m) • 10Mbps up to 3,000 ft (900m) • connects to neighborhood optical network units (ONUs) which connect to the CO main fiber network backbone
VDSL • Anticipated new services • interactive TV • video on demand • HDTV (high definition TV)
