DIY VDSL ISP
Hello,

I would like to simulate VDSL provider environment in my lab:

* VDSL modem(s)
* VDSL DSLAM
* copper pair connecting the two

My current plan is buy this DSLAM http://www.zhone.com/products/MX-160-LT-8P/MX-160-LT-8P.pdf (US eBay seller).
DSLAM will be connected to a Linux box which will simulate BRAS (terminate PPPoE etc).
VDSL modems -- I will be using local ones (EU), proprietary boxes from local ISPs and Cisco routers.

I know my way in networking in general, but do not have DSL-specific knowledge, so any feedback is very appreciated.
Do I miss something?

Best regards,
Alex

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.
