Hello,<br />
<br />
I would like to simulate VDSL provider environment in my lab:<br />
<br />
* VDSL modem(s)<br />
* VDSL DSLAM<br />
* copper pair connecting the two<br />
<br />
My current plan is buy this DSLAM <a href="http://www.zhone.com/products/MX-160-LT-8P/MX-160-LT-8P.pdf" rel="ugc">http://www.zhone.com/products/MX-160-LT-8P/MX-160-LT-8P.pdf</a>&nbsp;(US eBay seller).<br />
DSLAM will be connected to a Linux box which will simulate BRAS (terminate PPPoE etc).<br />
VDSL modems -- I will be using local ones (EU), proprietary boxes from local ISPs and Cisco routers.<br />
<br />
I know my way in networking in general, but do not have DSL-specific knowledge, so any feedback is very appreciated.<br />
Do I miss something?<br />
<br />
Best regards,<br />
Alex

Telecommunication occurs when the exchange of information between two or more entities (communication) includes the use of technology. Communication technology uses channels to transmit information (as electrical signals), either over a physical medium (such as signal cables), or in the form of electromagnetic waves. The word is often used in its plural form, telecommunications, because it involves many different technologies.

Telecommunications

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.

Networking Protocols

The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as digital subscriber line (DSL), cable, fiber optics, wireless (for which there is a separate topic), satellite and broadband over powerlines (BPL).
