PARTITIONED INTERFACE ARCHITECTURE FOR TRANSMISSION OF BROADBAND NETWORK TRAFFIC TO AND FROM AN ACCESS NETWORK

摘要

a communication network for distributed transmission at least one access network to network traffic with the end-user terminal from the network It is described. Distribution network and access network each of which has a respective traffic transmission capacity of the traffic transmission capacity of the distribution network to be larger than the traffic transmission capacity of the access network. Communications network has a first network device operably connected to the distributed network. The first network device may receive the network traffic from a distributed network. Communication network and a second network device is also operatively connected to the access network. The second network device may send the network traffic to the access network. Communications network also has a transport link that is operatively connected between the first network device and a second network device. The first network device may send the network traffic to the second network device to the transmission link. Transmission link has a transmission capacity greater traffic than the traffic transmission capacity of the access network.
