Introduction
ADSL is a form of DSL, a data communications technology that enables faster data
transmission over copper telephone lines
ADSL is capable of providing up to 50 Mbps, and supports voice, video and data.
ADSL is the #1 Broadband Choice in the World with over 60% market share

ADSL Range
In general, the maximum range for DSL without a repeater
is 5.5 km
As distance decreases toward the telephone company
office, the data rate increases

ADSL Modulation
Modulation is the overlaying of information (or the signal)
onto an electronic or optical carrier waveform
There are two competing and incompatible standards for
modulating the ADSL signal:
Carrierless Amplitude Phase (CAP)
Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT)

Echo Cancellation
ATM Layer
The ATM layer transport information across the network
ATM uses virtual connections for the information transport
The connections are divided into two levels:
The Virtual Channels
The Virtual Path
This mechanism is used to provide quality of service (QoS)
ATM Connections
The connection between two endpoints is called a Virtual
Channel (VC).
A Virtual Path (VP) is a term for a bundle of virtual
channel links that all have the same endpoints.
Each VC and VP has a unique identifier
Virtual paths are used to simplify the ATM addressing
structure.

ADSL disadvantages:
Distance-sensitive
Slower upload speeds
