DSL Forum Expands Scope and Adds TRs

The DSL Forum is expanding its scope to other broadband access technologies, including FTTP and FTTN fiber optic standards. Technical work is underway to address common CPE and architecture requirements for various types of access methods to deliver video, voice and data services. Interoperability and qualification work has also been expanded to address higher layer functions as well as the physical layer testing of ADSL2plus and the newly standardized VDSL2.

Michael Brusca, chairman and president of the DSL Forum, said: "We have built on our end to end architecture, broadening Layer 3 specifications that are applicable to FTTP and FTTN in addition to DSLAM based platforms. Our DSLHome work has been expanded to cover management of common CPE and devices for all types of wide area networks and consumer electronics networking requirements."

In a progress report following its annual meeting help recently in Vienna, The DSL Forum also announced that nine new Technical Reports (TR) were completed in 2005.

-MCM Specific Managed Objects in VDSL Network Element
-Operations & Network Mgmt
-DSLHome Applying TR-069 to Remote Management of Home Networking Devices
-Service Interface Requirements for TR-058 Architectures
-DSLHome TR-064 Extensions for Service Differentiation
-DSLHome Reference Models for VoIP Configurations in the DSL Home
-DSLHome Data Model Template for TR-069 Enabled Devices
-DSLHome Provisioning Parameters for VoIP CPE
-DSLHome Gateway Device Version 1.1 Data Model for TR-069
-Multi-Service Delivery Framework for Home Networks
-Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) Requirements Document
-Protocol Independent Object Model for Managing Next Generation ADSL Technologies
-SCM Specific Managed Objects In VDSL Network Element
-CPE WAN Mgmt Protocol
-Base Requirements for an ADSL Modem with Routing

Shared Infrastructure Leads Cloud Expansion

The global cloud computing market is undergoing new significant growth, driven by the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and the demand for flexible, scalable infrastructure. The recent market study by International Data Corporation (IDC) provides compelling evidence of this transformation, highlighting the accelerating growth in cloud infrastructure spending and the pivotal role of AI in shaping the industry's future trajectory. Shared Infrastructure Market Development The study reveals a 36.9 percent year-over-year worldwide increase in spending on compute and storage infrastructure products for cloud deployments in the first quarter of 2024, reaching $33 billion. This growth substantially outpaced non-cloud infrastructure spending, which saw a modest 5.7 percent increase to $13.9 billion during the same period. The surge in cloud infrastructure spending was partially fueled by an 11.4 percent growth in unit demand, influenced by higher average selling prices, primari
