The DSLAM is the equipment that places the DSL data onto the analog subscriber phone line, and is located somewhere between the phone switch and the subscriber. These days they are usually co-located on premise with the telephone switch. Yhey are migrating to the street cabinet here. |

By strict definition, a router receives a digital packet from one port, and uses that packet's destination address info to select which other port to sent it out of, thus 'routing' it to its destination. Where port = router interface. In addition, the incoming interface and the outgoing interface on the router can be the same interface, although for performance reasons that won't usually be the case. Also, routers don't forward traffic unchanged. Every packet gets its source MAC rewritten to that of the router's outgoing interface, and the destination MAC gets rewritten to that of the next hop gateway. Source and destination IP addresses are left unchanged, of course. Interestingly, most routers have no idea how to get a packet to its destination. What they do know, however, is how to get the packet one step (hop) closer, so they punt it off in that direction. Every router gets to decide the most appropriate next hop, and that decision may change from one second to the next. Thus, two packets going from A to B may not follow the same path. |

No need for PPPoE on the PC. Yeah, using a xDSL device as a modem or bridge device was/is pretty rare, I shouldn't have believed the supplier's one-liner description. Don't know about CenturyLink but when I had Verizon DSL they did not use PPPoE but DHCP. You had to register the modem's MAC address to link your connection to your account. Once registered is was a simple plug and play. Same method for the cable company in this area. -- Take care, Jonathan ------------------- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com |
