GENERALITY

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) technology provides
high-speed data access over regular phone lines. ADSL service
is able to co-exist on the same line with your telephone service.
The ADSL has an unbalanced connection speed.
It means that you have a connection where data are received at
the maximum speed of 8Mbps and sent at the maximum speed
of 1Mbps. The unbalance allows to carry out connections with
top performance in Internet access or remote access
applications. Asymmetric operation is ideal for home and small
office use where files and information are downloaded more
frequently than uploaded.
ADSL modems employ ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) framing. ATM is a protocol that
divides packets into small fixed sized cells for rapid transmission over high-speed networks.
Several different protocols are used over ATM. Michelangelo configuration depends on the
equipment used by your service provider:
Point to Point Protocol Over ATM (PPPoA)
Bridged/Routed Ethernet/IP over ATM (PPPoE)
