ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line 2 and ADSL2+, to enable triple play services. ADSL2 and ADSL2+ yield increased bandwidth to end users, providing the basis for delivery of multiple simultaneous video feeds. By reducing the amount of congestion The condition of a network when there is not enough bandwidth to support the current traffic load. congestion - When the offered load of a data communication path exceeds the capacity. in the network, IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) The protocol that governs the management of multicast groups in a TCP/IP network. To sign up for a multicast group, a Host Membership Report is sent by a user's machine to its nearest routers, which forward that data to functionality minimizes the amount of backhaul capability required. The STEP DSL is an extremely cost-effective solution for the deployment of video. Charles believes the STEP DSL platform's video capabilities will immediately help open new revenue streams for independent telephone companies. STEP DSL's flexible platform is capable of being deployed in the central office or remote locations. The small size of the product (a 12-line Mini-DSLAM is roughly the size of a VHS (Video Home System) A half-inch, analog videocassette recorder (VCR) format introduced by JVC in 1976 to compete with Sony's Betamax, introduced a year earlier. cassette) enables deployment from even the most space-restrictive enclosures.
