Abstract
Methods and apparatus for efficiently communicating across an asymmetric digital subscriber loop are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for communicating between a computer in a central office and a remote computer across DSL communications links involves sending a first set of data from the central office computer across a first DSL communications link. The first DSL communications link couples the central office computer to a switch. The method also includes selecting a second DSL communications link, which couples the switch and the remote computer, and sending the first set of data from the switch to the remote computer across the second DSL communications link.
