Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) - UTP-3 carrier
  • ADSL employs adaptive signal processing to compensate for signal distortion. Requires VLSI electronics on both ends.
  • Provides asymmetric bandwidth
  • In initial state of deployment (Bell Atlantic, Washington, DC)
  • Probably will support ATM transport via embedding cells in the synchronous 6.3 Mbps stream
  • Suitable for high bandwidth video codec like MPEG-1 or MPEG-2
  • IP over ADSL possible but very little testing done
