NANOG Meeting Presentation Abstract

Broadband VPNs - Outsourcing ISP Services to Cable TV and XDSL Providers
Meeting:	NANOG13
Date / Time:	1998-06-09 11:30am - 12:00pm
Room:
Presenters:	Speakers: Bruce Perlmutter, Bay Networks.
Abstract:	Data over cable TV and xDSL are technologies that are experiencing enormous growth as a means to provide high speed Internet access to consumers. Most implementations of these technologies require the cable provider to become an Internet Service Provider (ISP) - a business for which they are often ill prepared. This presentation describes an architecture that allows cable providers to outsource the ISP function to a number of partner service providers. The cable provider installs and manages the physical plant, and bills the customer for services (voice, video, data) delivered over this plant. Data traffic from these customers arrives at the cable provider head end and is routed to an Internet Service Provider (or other data network) selected by the customer. Even though the customers are connected to a common access infrastructure (XDSL or cable TV), they appear as though they are connected only to their selected ISP. This approach can be called a Virtual Private Network. Issues discussed include: IP address allocation and packet routing, accounting and authorization mechanisms, and encryption and privacy issues.
