2. 2 Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) - A technique used for transmitting high-bandwidth data over twisted-pair telephone lines.

3. 3 Central Office Central Office Local Loop Analog Local Loop Analog

4. 4 Voice requires only about 4 kHz of bandwidth. 0 4kHz Frequency Voice

5. 5 Central Office Central Office Local Loop Analog Local Loop Analog Digital

6. 6 For short distances, twisted- pair can handle frequencies much higher than 4kHz.

10. 10 DSL takes advantage of the bandwidth not required by voice. 0 4kHz Frequency Voice DSL 1MHz

11. 11 xDSL: Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) Very High Data Rate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL)

12. 12 Asymmetric DSL – Allows more bandwidth downstream than upstream. 0 4kHz Frequency Voice Downstream 1MHz Upstream

14. 14 Typical ADSL Characteristics Data RateDistance Downstream 1.5 Mbps 15,000 ft Upstream 16 kbps 15,000 ft Downstream 6.1 Mbps9,000 ft Upstream 640 kbps9,000 ft

15. 15 DSL is distance-sensitive You must be within about 12,000 to 18,000 feet of a central office. The distance is the path the wire takes, not the straight-line distance. Even so, the majority of the United States’ population lives and works within DSL range.

16. 16 The DSL Provider The company that delivers DSL service to your home or business. Generally a phone company. Many DSL providers act as their own Internet Service Provider (ISP). Some areas have more than one DSL provider.

22. 22 Problems with the DSL Modem Approach Single IP address The Internet Connection is not easily shared. Security concerns.

23. 23 The DSL Router Turns your local network into a separate TCP/IP LAN. May provide several services such as: DHCP NAT Firewall VPN
