Assigning IP Addresses
In the HotWire DSLAM network model, there are two distinct domains:
a management domain
a service domain
Within the management domain, there are two subnets as described in
Management Domain Components
in Chapter 4. Within the service domain, one
of two IP address allocation schemes can be followed: host addressing or
structured subnet addressing. The following sections describe these schemes.
