Abstract
The selection of transmission medium or sets of transmission media and corresponding network topologies, node configurations and‘ system technologies are among the key strategic issues in the development of the access network. Capacity demand, service types, flexibility and costs are the main differentiators in the evaluation of the various access network architectures. In the following the term architecture denotes (a) specific combination(s) of transmission medium, network topology, node configuration and system technology.
