EDA 1200 System Overview
2.1.2 Access Network
The EDA 1200 access network provides the means to provide the services to
the End-users. The EDA 1200 access network is composed of specialized
nodes (telecom grade), with built in mechanisms to ensure network and
End-user security, and Quality of Service (QoS). The main principle of the EDA
1200 access network is illustrated in Figure 5 on page 8.
Figure 5 EDA 1200 Access Example
The access network is based on Ethernet and IP. The End-users are connected
to an Access Node providing different drop technologies. The Access Node
controls the services given to the End-users, and traffic to and from the
End-users. An example with four services: one Voice and two data services
provided from outside the network, and one video service provided from within
(not through a router) is depicted in Figure 5 on page 8.
The Access Node has security mechanisms that protect the network from
malicious attacks, and other mechanisms that protect the End-users.
In order to provide QoS, the Access Node has mechanisms to ensure
prioritizing and minimize delay of traffic. In both cases (security and QoS), the
Access Node controls the downlink traffic to the End-user, and the uplink traffic
to the network. Downlink traffic from the gateways and service servers to the
Access Nodes is controlled by the gateways and servers.
EDA 1200 access network using different drop technologies and different
network elements is depicted in Figure 6 on page 9 .
