Nortel Networks designed AHB to meet the requirements of public network
providers who want to develop an end-to-end solution using DSL to provide
high-speed internet and remote LAN access to ISP’s and corporate networks. The
AHB router supports the public network provider’s WAN infrastructure network
by performing the bidirectional conversion of RFC 1483 Ethernet bridged packets
for IP routing to and from the ISP and corporate networks.
Figure 1-1
shows a sample DSL access network that uses an AHB router. This
network is divided into four separate segments:
• The customer premises, which consist of the remote host and modem, referred
to as ADSL terminal unit, remote end devices (ATU-R)
• The network provider POP, which consists of DSL access multiplexor ADSL
terminal unit, central devices (DSLAM ATU-C), ATM access network, and
the AHB router
• The public network WAN infrastructure (typically IP over ATM or frame
relay)
• The ISP or corporate network, which provides internet service for remote
CPE stations
