xDSL Basics “Digital Subscriber Line” Central Office Regional POP Customer Premises 2 Backend Systems IAD DSLAM
xDSL Basics • ADSL • Asymmetric DSL • e.g. 2Mbps down/384kbps up • Speed dependent on loop length - 512kbps => 6Mbps • SDSL • Symmetric DSL • e.g. 384kps down/384kbps up • Others • IDSL, HDSL, VDSL, etc, etc
IAD Example • IAD (Integrated Access Device) • Customer Premises Device • LAN Network Interface /Router • Phone/Fax/Modem Interfaces • e.g. 8-24 x RJ11 Customer Premises • DSL Modem • ADSL, SDSL, IDSL • ATM or Frame Relay Transport
DSLAM Example • DSLAM (DSL Access Multiplexor) • Central Office/Local Exchange System • Typically located in a CLEC/ILEC colocation cage • Line cards support various flavours of xDSL • Aggregation of users onto PVCs • Connectivity to backbone • OC-3/DS-3/T1 • ATM/Frame Relay/IP Central Office
VoDSL Economics • DSL Flat Rate Per Minute • Internet Access $40 n/a • Voice over DSL $32 $100 • Total $72 $100 • Modest 4 lines + 1M/256k • Voice can increase DSL revenue 4-10 times!

VoDSL Orthodoxy Layer 2 Technology.... • Dual Aggregation for Toll QoS • AAL2 for Efficient Bandwidth • ABCD/CAS Signalling Delivers... • Toll Quality Voice & Basic CLASS telephony Requires... • Costly IAD with Ethernet and phone jacks • IAD DSP for echo cancellation/silence/codec
VoATM/DSL Limitations • Regulatory Environment may prevent Broadband Internet Service Providers from provisioning voice services over Layer 2 network • Unbundling local loop & collocation is not yet a reality in most worldwide markets - early DSL deployments are data only

VoIP/DSL Realities • Dual Aggregation for Toll QoS • Voice over IP over ATM works well • Use dual aggregation to manage VoIP QoS • Real issue is QoS per service provider (PPTP/SVCs) • AAL2 for Efficient Bandwidth • CRTP and Link Level Fragmentation resolve IP issues • 2/4 bytes replaces 40 bytes IP/UDP/RTP cost • VoIP Signalling • MGCP & H.323 offer a full set of signalling features • Signalling gateways to SS7 widely available

VoIP/DSL: The Advantages! • Web Data and Video Media Integration NOW! • Choice of Voice Service Provider • Unified Voice & Data Network Management • VPN/Security Integration • Connectivity to • IP PBXs (e.g. Nortel) • Next Gen. Network (e.g. Sonus) • IP Telephones (e.g. Cisco) • Video Appliances (e.g. Polycom) • PCs!
VoIP/DSL: The Bottom Line! • Is it wiser to invest in rail or air? • Is it wiser to invest in copper or fiber? • Is it wiser to invest in AAL2 or RTP/IP? Why invest in dedicated voice technology at all...leverage the Layer 3 data network!!!
