Abstract
An arrangement is provided for optimizing the bandwidth of DSL connections. A DSL connection is established via a customer premise equipment, a copper line connecting to the customer premise equipment, and a DSL access multiplexer connecting to the copper line. The DSL connection is operated at a transmission rate that is adaptively optimized through a DSL connection optimizer based on dynamic transmission environment.
Claims25
An apparatus, comprising:
- a digital subscriber line (DSL) connection optimizer to couple to both a customer premise equipment and a DSL access multiplexer;
- said DSL connection optimizer to re-initialize a DSL connection established between said customer premise equipment and said DSL access multiplexer and to adaptively optimize a transmission rate between said customer premise equipment and said DSL access multiplexer;
- said DSL connection optimizer to detect based on said connection statistics whether there is a potential performance gain by re-initializing said DSL connection and determine to re-initialize said DSL connection based on connection statistics and the potential performance gain.
A system comprising:
- a first set of connection statistics;
- and
- a first digital subscriber line (DSL) connection optimizer to couple to both a customer premise equipment and a DSL access multiplexer;
- said DSL connection optimizer to receive said first set of connection statistics, to re-initialize a DSL connection established between said customer premise equipment and said DSL access multiplexer, and to adaptively optimize a transmission rate between said customer premise equipment and said DSL access multiplexer;
- said first DSL connection optimizer to detect based on said first set of connection statistics whether there is a potential performance gain by re-initializing said DSL connection and to determine to re-initialize said DSL connection based on said first set of connection statistics and the potential performance gain.
A method, comprising:
- re-initializing a digital subscriber line (DSL) connection established between a customer premise equipment and a DSL access multiplexer by a DSL connection optimizer;
- adaptively optimizing a transmission rate between said customer premise equipment and said DSL access multiplexer by said DSL connection optimizer;
- and
- detecting by said DSL connection optimizer based on said connection statistics whether there is a potential performance gain by re-initializing said DSL connection,
- wherein said re-initializing of said DSL connection is determined by said DSL connection optimizer based on connection statistics and the potential performance gain.
An article comprising a machine-readable storage medium containing instructions that if executed enable a system to re-initialize a digital subscriber line (DSL) connection established between a customer premise equipment and a DSL access multiplexer by a DSL connection optimizer;
- and adaptively optimize a transmission rate between said customer premise equipment and said DSL access multiplexer by said DSL connection optimizer;
- wherein said re-initializing of said DSL connection is detected by said DSL connection optimizer based on said connection statistics whether there is a potential performance gain and is determined by said DSL connection optimizer based on connection statistics and the potential performance gain.
