This Recommendation describes a method for bonding of multiple digital subscriber lines (DSL) to
transport ATM streams. The specifications of this Recommendation provide a complete description
of startup, operational, and contingency modes of operation which allows for interoperability
between vendors.
This Recommendation includes the following types of requirements, recommendations, and
information for defined DSL systems, including:
– higher-layer transport-independent requirements;
– higher-layer transport-dependent, e.g., ATM, requirements.
