DSL Forum Technical Report TR-040 (Formerly WT-047v8) Aspects of VDSL Evolution June 2001 Abstract: This document provides a framework for VDSL study within the DSL Forum. It points to the standards which define VDSL requirements and interfaces. It also identifies deployment scenarios that are expected to be implemented and characterizes the service evolution from other DSL technologies to those based on VDSL. Additionally, challenges to deployment are considered. Notice: © 2001 Digital Subscriber Line Forum. All Rights Reserved.

It points to the standards which define VDSL requirements and interfaces. It also identifies deployment scenarios, utilizing the public network, that are expected to be implemented and characterizes the service evolution from other DSL technologies to those based on VDSL. Additionally, challenges to deployment are considered. VDSL applications utilizing private networks are outside the scope of this document. 2 References At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid.
