Acknowledgments

We would like to thank Stephane Lamarre first for encouraging us with writing DSL architecture white papers that were the basis and inspiration for this book. Thanks to Charles Ford with his expertise in DSL and to Jay Thontakudi for his expertise in IP DSL switching. Special thanks to Kumar Reddy and Jay for their dedication in reviewing the book, for their constructive suggestions and criticisms, and for keeping us honest.

Our thanks also go to John Kane and Christopher Cleveland from Cisco Press who assisted us with producing this book and believed in our ideas.

Last but not least, we’d like to thank our Technical Marketing Engineer colleagues whom we learned so much from and made our work much more enjoyable.
