Abstract

A brief overview of asymmetrical digital subscriber line (ADSL) technology is provided, describing important technology considerations, including noise impairments, spectral compatibility, and data-over-voice design challenges. Potential service applications utilizing the unique advantages of the ADSL are discussed, including advanced videotext, compressed video, and education applications. Network architecture and interface issues are addressed. Physical configurations at the customer premises and associated interfaces are discussed, along with a high-level view of possible network switching and control architectures
