Following its meeting in Munich earlier this month, the DSL Forum published three new Technical Reports:
- TR-102 Service Interface Protocol: Dynamic IP-centric Network Policy — provides a standard set of system interfaces that allows service providers to define the flow of information for real time fulfillment of IP based services such as VoIP, video conferencing and additional bandwidth on demand. The DSL Forum said the adoption of this set of interfaces and information flows will enhance the ability of network architectures to deliver multiple, end-to-end services and applications over broadband DSL.
- TR-111 Applying TR-069 to Remote Management Of Home Networked Devices — applies the remote activation protocol TR-069 through the gateway to home-networked devices such as VoIP phones, media set-top boxes and gaming console systems.
- TR-113 Multiple Carrier Modulation (MCM) Specific Managed Objects in VDSL Network Element — can be used by customer premises equipment vendors in VDSL implementations, and by service providers in the EMS systems they use to configure and manage VDSL based service.
The DSL Forum noted that the number of DSL subscribers worldwide is approaching the 140 million mark, based on the most recent figures from Point Topic.
