TELECOMWORLDWIRE-29 May 2008-DSL Forum approves Technical Report 143(C)1994-2008 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com

The DSL Forum, an international industry consortium of service providers, equipment manufacturers and other interested parties, has approved Technical Report 143 (TR-143) 'Network Service Provider initiated throughput performance testing.'

TR-143, developed by the Forum's BroadbandHome Technical Working Group, is understood to define Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) throughput performance test mechanisms using the framework established in the Forum's existing CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP), TR-069. By placing an agent into the home gateway router, it allows service providers to gather more extensive data, troubleshoot remotely, and test continuity, performance and response times.

The TR is expected to help operators and providers to save time and money. As faults are identified and resolved remotely, it is not necessary for technicians to visit a customer's home. In addition, monitoring performance and continuity data enables issues to be detected before problems arise, decreasing the number of calls made to the service providers' call centres.

No financial details were disclosed.
