Information on Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line
Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line is a
variant of ADSL in which the quality of a line
is tested at connection startup, and the modems negotiate the
maximum data rate that can be supported.
The negotiation of line
rate is carried out using a startup handshaking protocol.
Because it
is able to adjust its rate, Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line can
operate over may lines over which ADSL operation fails.
