Bonding Techniques for Symmetric Services over ADSL and ADSL2/2+

Abstract

Newer IP services are bandwidth-intense and/or symmetric in nature. Bonding multiple ADSL links is an appealing high-speed low-cost solution for more bandwidth, in anticipation of ADSL2/2+ deployments, while upstream performance defines the symmetric link capacity. We examine techniques applicable to ADSL and ADSL2/2+, outlining the optimal solution for aggregating N access links.
