Overview of the HotWire DSLAM
Network Model
The HotWire DSLAM and the HotWire RTUs provide high-speed connectivity to
the Internet, corporation, or other network service from the end-user system.
The HotWire DSLAM network model can be implemented in a number of ways.
For example:
A Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) implementation with one or more users
connected to a LAN needing high-speed connectivity to an Internet Service
Provider (ISP).
A SOHO implementation with one or more users connected to a LAN needing
high-speed connectivity to the corporate LAN or Intranet.
A campus implementation needing internetworking between several sites,
each with a LAN.
The network model for these examples can be partitioned into the following
building blocks:
Network Service Provider (NSP)
Network Access Provider (NAP)
Service Subscriber
Network

97-15457
