ABSTRACT:
An improved network adapter and architecture which combines the Ethernet bus access protocol with a digital subscriber line-based physical layer driver to provide improved performance. The use of a digital subscriber line-based physical layer driver, such as the DSL physical layer, in conjunction with the Ethernet protocol provides low cost and compatibility advantages associated with Ethernet in conjunction with the improved reliability, robustness, bandwidth, and noise resistance of the DSL layer. This allows standard Ethernet networking on noisy transmission media such as category 3 twisted pair, power lines, and other previously unusable channels.
