•
Layer 2 Ether switch (not a hub)
•
Allow PVC assignment to the individual Ethernet Ports (i.e 0,35 -> Ethernet Port 1, 0,36 ->
Ethernet Port 2, etc)
o
The modem must support the ability to map PVC’s to physical Ethernet ports. This will
likely be implemented via VLAN to associate the Port to the PVC. The VLAN would
then be only locally significant, i.e it is untagged in both directions and does not exist in
the DSLAM realm or in the customer network realm. The most important thing is to
prevent multicast and broadcast traffic that hits any given port from being broadcast to all
ports. A clean approach to achieve this is to segregate each VLAN into a separate bridge
table. This restricts all flooding to the bridge group.
•
PVC assignment must be operational in bridged mode (RFC 1483/2684)
•
Wall mounted/hanged support.
