CHAPTER 1
1. INTRODUCTION
Background:
1.1.1 The number of broadband subscribers are growing in the
country. A number of new value added services & applications on
IP platform are being provided to broadband users. Initially most
users used broadband to access e-mails and text contents
requiring low bandwidth. This is changing fast with the
deployment of new services like IPTV, peer to peer file transfer etc
requiring high bandwidth. Time sensitive applications are also
increasing. Now users are demanding higher speed and better
quality of service for their broadband connections.

INTERNATIONAL PRACTICES
International Practices:
A.1 ITU in its document (No.019-E) on Suggested Indicators for the
NGN fixed network and DSL wholesale has mentioned that
Committed contention ratios in the backhaul network Digital
Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer- Broadband Access Server
(DSLAM-BAS) are important to ensure a high quality of service
to end users. The contention is calculated as the ratio of total
theoretical customer bandwidth into a DSLAM to the amount of
bandwidth between the DSLAM and the Broadband Access
Server (BAS).
