Abstract

The present disclosure provides a system, method and computer-readable medium for providing a network service. In one aspect, the disclosure provides a system for providing a network service that includes a network device for providing the network service over a network loop using Symmetric High Bit Rate Digital Subscriber Loop (G.SHDSL) as a transport mechanism over the network loop; and a network-capable access device that terminates the network loop.

Claims (30)

1 . A computer-readable medium accessible to a server for executing instructions contained in a computer program embedded in the computer-readable medium, the computer program comprising:

a set of instructions to use Symmetric High Bit Rate Digital Subscriber Loop (G.SHDSL) as a transmission standard to transport a network service; and

a set of instructions to transmit the network service using G.SHDSL over a network loop connecting a network device to a network-capable access device that terminates the network loop at a customer location.

2 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising a set of instructions to change a parameter of operation of the network-capable access device that includes one of: i) changing a bandwidth of the network-capable access device, ii) synchronizing a clock on the network-capable access device with a network clock, and, iii) upgrading software at the network-capable access device.

3 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising a set of instructions to retrieve a parameter related to the network service stored in the network-capable access device, the parameter including one of: i) bandwidth, ii) volume of data traffic, iii) latency, iv) network availability, v) network utilization, vi) peak traffic, and vii) test results.

4 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the network device further comprises a Digital Subscriber Loop Access Multiplexer (DSLAM).

5 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the network loop further comprises a dry copper pair loop.

6 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the network-capable access device is adapted to transfer the network service between a Digital Signal Level 1 (DS-1) connection and the network loop.

7 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the network-capable access device enables at least one of: i) vertical management capabilities, ii) providing remote troubleshooting capabilities, and, iii) providing report capabilities at a processor.

8 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the network service is at least one of: i) Frame Relay, ii) Ethernet, iii) Asynchronous Transfer Mode, iv) analog voice, v) Voice over Internet Protocol, and, vi) private line.

9 . A method of providing a network service, comprising:

using Symmetric High Bit Rate Digital Subscriber Loop (G.SHDSL) as a transmission standard to transport the network service; and

transmitting the network service using G.SHDSL over a network loop connecting a network device to a network-capable access device that terminates the network loop at a customer location.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising changing a parameter of operation of the network-capable access device that includes one of: i) changing a bandwidth of the network-capable access device, ii) synchronizing a clock on the network-capable access device with a network clock, and, iii) upgrading software at the network-capable access device.

11 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising retrieving a parameter related to the network service stored in the network-capable access device, the parameter including one of: i) bandwidth, ii) volume of data traffic, iii) latency, iv) network availability, v) network utilization, vi) peak traffic, and, vii) test results.

12 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the network device further comprises a Digital Subscriber Loop Access Multiplexer (DSLAM).

13 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the network loop further comprises a dry copper pair loop.

14 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the network-capable access device is adapted to transfer the network service between a Digital Signal Level 1 (DS-1) connection and the network loop.

15 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the network-capable access device enables at least one of: i) vertical management capabilities, ii) providing remote troubleshooting capabilities, and, iii) providing report capabilities at a processor.

16 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the network service is at least one of: i) Frame Relay, ii) Ethernet, iii) Asynchronous Transfer Mode, iv) analog voice, v) Voice over Internet Protocol, and, vi) private line.

17 . A system for providing a network service, comprising:

a network device for providing the network service using Symmetric High Bit Rate Digital Subscriber Loop (G.SHDSL) as a transmission standard over a network loop connected to the network device; and

a network-capable access device that terminates the network loop at a customer location.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the network-capable access device is adapted to change a parameter of operation that includes one of: i) changing a bandwidth of the network-capable access device, ii) synchronizing a clock on the network-capable access device with a network clock, and, iii) upgrading software at the network-capable access device.

19 . The system of claim 17 , further comprising a processor for retrieving a parameter related to the network service stored in the network-capable access device, the parameter including one of: i) bandwidth, ii) volume of data traffic, iii) latency, iv) network availability, v) network utilization, vi) peak traffic, and, vii) test results.

20 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the network device further comprises a Digital Subscriber Loop Access Multiplexer (DSLAM).

21 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the network loop further comprises a dry copper pair loop.

22 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the network-capable access device is adapted to transfer the network service between a Digital Signal Level 1 (DS-1) connection and the network loop.

23 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the network-capable access device enables at least one of: i) vertical management capabilities, ii) providing remote troubleshooting capabilities, and, iii) providing report capabilities at a processor.

24 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the network service is at least one of: i) Frame Relay, ii) Ethernet, iii) Asynchronous Transfer Mode, iv) analog voice, v) Voice over Internet Protocol, and, vi) private line.
