PURPOSE:
The chapter describes the signals and media used to transmit digital signals and the methods of encoding and transmitting data using analog and digital signals. It describes the methods for detecting and correcting data transmission errors and the methods for efficiency using communication channels.
How ML-IP Can
Increase Bandwith
One of the major issues facing Internet Service Providers
today is how to increase bandwith with the technology we have today. With more people connecting to the Internet
and with many different types of devices (tablets, smartphones, laptops, etc.)
that have the capability to connect to the internet, ISPs are finding their
systems bandwith availability reaching its capacity.
ML-IP is one way in which ISPs can increase their
bandwith. ML-IP (MultiLink-IP) is
multilinking of IP data streams. What ML-IP does is allow traffic traveling
across different network paths between two ML-IP gateways to be aggregated so
that it increases the bandwidth. Since the aggregation is achieved end-to-end
between the gateways the ISPs do not need to support the ML-IP technology
because ML-IP can aggregate at the network layer and not at the physical layer.
This allows the ISP to increase bandwith and increase the networks
reliability. It also is a very cost
effective way to increase bandwith because not much if any new infrastructure
is needed.
