3 Router Role
The Router or BRAS plays an important role in the Shared DSL concept,
and must perform the following functions:
• DHCP requests from the IP DSLAM in the remote site must be relayed
towards the EDA network, using the management VLAN ID.
• The Management PVC from the remote site must be mapped to the
EDA Management VLAN.
• If PPPoE or PPPoA is used for the END-user traffic, it must be
terminated by the BRAS.
• If the Router (or BRAS) is not an Edge Node of the EDA network as
well, a tunnel must be established to the EDN network (for example
L2TP or another VPN solution, see Figure 2 on page 5).
