xDSL Standards
Different variants of DSL technologies exist:
ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ (Asymmetric DSL),
SDSL (Symmetric DSL), HDSL (High-bit-rate DSL),
VDSL/VDSL2 (Very High Rate DSL), RADSL
(Rate-Adaptive DSL), GDSL (Gigabit DSL).

Vectoring
Vectoring coordinates line
signals to reduce crosstalk
(noise cancellation).
Vectoring was previously
specified for VDSL2 by the
ITU-T in G.993.5, called
G.vector.
The first version of G.fast will
support an improved version
of the linear precoding
scheme found in G.vector.
Non-linear precoding planned
for a future amendment.

G.fast Deployment
FTTdp (fiber to the distribution point) is
commonly associated with G.fast, similar to how FTTN is
associated with VDSL2.
FTTdp is in between FTTN and FTTH.
In FTTdp, a limited number of subscribers at a distance of
up to 200300 m are attached to one fiber node (can be
mounted on a pole or underground), which acts as a
DSLAM.
Compared to ADSL2 where the DSLAM is located in the
Local Exchange at a distance of up to 5 km from the
subscriber, while in some VDSL2 the DSLAM is located in
a street cabinet and serves hundreds of subscribers at
distances up to 1 km.

FTTx
The two main
technologies on top of
FTTx architectures are:
VDSL2: used in FTTN,
FTTC and in some FTTB
deployments.
Passive optical network
(PON): used in FTTH
and in some FTTB
deployments.

SDH is an ITU-T standard (G.707, G.708, G.709)
STM-n stands for: Synchronous Transport Module
Level n
STS-n stands for: Synchronous Transport Signal

OC-n stands for: Optical Carrier Level n
Benefits of SDH/SONET over PDH: simpler and a
more flexible multiplexing at high data rates.
Huge capacity of extra bits dedicated for network
management and maintenance functions to allow
protection rings.
