Abstract

Recommendation ITU-T G.998.2 describes a method for bonding of multiple digital subscriber lines
(DSLs) for Ethernet transport. This Recommendation can support single-pair high-bit-rate digital
subscriber line (SHDSL), very high-speed digital subscriber line (VDSL) and asymmetric digital
subscriber line (ADSL) transport as well as future xDSL technologies as they emerge.
This Recommendation builds on the IEEE 802.3ah-2004 methods and extends Ethernet transport over other xDSL technologies, including ADSL. The Recommendation does not describe the details of the specific xDSL transport technology, but rather, it focuses on the aspects of the physical coding sublayer (PCS) layer modifications required for bonding. This version of the Recommendation integrates all previous amendments and corrigenda with the 2005 version of ITU-T G.998.2.
