Abstract :
The results of the activity on the feasibility model of a broadband customer premises network developed in the RACE 1011 Project `Business customer premises network´ (BCPN) are presented. The model represents a selected subset of the system architecture building blocks specified by the project. It has been physically implemented, with the aim of verifying the preferred topology (developed with attention to evolution aspects) and validating the key features of the system concept. In particular, the transmission and interface functions, the ATM test terminal built by the project and the router for interconnecting a standard Ethernet are described
