As the quantity and types of traffic running over the last mile continues to increase, greater demands are placed on the infrastructure to support high-bandwidth, low-loss, low-latency applications.

For those responsible for creating and deploying networks, the challenges are clear. Will your solution:

• Support and meet the minimum requirements for various regions or technologies? 
• Provide the performance required to support real users generating real traffic over a real network?
• Maintain user quality of experience for performance sensitive applications regardless impairments that impact copper?

Schedule delays and performance problems discovered after deployment can cost you money and customers.

Your solution must be stressed and evaluated against the expectations contained in the DSL standards. Selling any solution or service without first testing the solution against the well-defined standards is an uphill battle. Your customers expect that their vendors are able to provide them with results based on the benchmarks in these standards so that they can truly evaluate the effectiveness of your solution. If your product or service doesn’t perform well against the standards, it has little chance of succeeding in the marketplace.
