Abstract

In today’s competitive business environment, operators seek to simplify their network topology in order to cut costs and create a convergent network infrastructure that is secure, easy to manage, always available, and capable of providing bandwidth to new multimedia service traffic loads and changing business needs. This paper gives an overview of broadband networks and how to provision services such as voice, which remains the main revenue generator for operators, on such networks.
