摘要： An access node (1) that is preferably a Flow-Aware Ethernet DSLAM configured to transmit Ethernet data frames between subscribers (2) and an aggregation network (3). The access node comprises a first memory (4) for storing classification rules and a second memory (6) for storing flow rules. These rules are applied by a classification agent (5) and by a service agent (7) to information extracted from incoming data frames in order to infer flow awareness information of outgoing frames corresponding to these incoming data frame. In this way, the subscriber access network evolves to a multi-service architecture by replacing ATM with Ethernet for cost reasons. The concept of “flow awareness” is applied to the present access node. With respect to known tunnel-based Ethernet DSLAMs, the present access node removes all dependency on correct encapsulation or labeling at the customer side and at the service provider side.

摘要： Methods for transmitting information from sources (7) via first network units (1) and networks (8) and second network units (2) to destinations (9) and using service identifiers such as service virtual local area network identifiers for routing the information through the networks (8) get a reduced complexity by making the service identifiers dependent on destination properties such as destination addresses and by making the service identifiers independent from source properties such as source addresses or customer identifiers. Network units (1,2) comprising customer parts (5) with customer access ports (10) and customer interface ports (11-13) and comprising service parts (6) with service interface ports (21-23) coupled to the customer interface ports (11-13) and service network ports (20) coupled to the service interface ports (21-23) and comprising taggers (62) are provided with detectors (52) for detecting destination properties in the information and selectors (53) for selecting the service identifies in response to detections of the destination properties.

摘要： Different services like video-on-demand and Internet Protocol telephony require different paths with different transmission profiles. Known modem systems (1) and aggregators (7) select paths by detecting additional information in packet signals, like in Ethernet the so-called Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) tags, and in Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) so-called (virtual) path identifiers. This disadvantageous additional information can be avoided by detecting (71) a source/destination address and, in response to said detecting, selecting (72) a transmission profile and, in dependence of said selecting, supplying (70) said packet signal to a path defined by said selected transmission profile. Solely the source/destination address, like a source address and/or a destination address, being Ethernet addresses, Internet Protocol addresses or even port addresses, allow said selecting, which is more efficient. Preferably a first path is an interleaved path for video-on-demand with a lower bit error rate, with a second path being a non-interleaved path with a lower delay for Internet Protocol telephony.
