Atm multicasting for delivering information over a network
First Claim
1. A method for multicast delivery of information in a DSL network comprsing the steps of:
- creating transmission paths between a single source port and multiple destination ports in a DSL network;
receiving information at said source port;
determining which of said destination ports is to receive said information; and
distributing said information from said source port to selective ones of said destination ports based on said step of referencing.

Abstract
A method that provides for multicast delivery of information in a DSL network includes creating transmission paths between a single source port and multiple destination ports in a DSL network; receiving information at the source port; determining which of the destination ports is to receive the information; and distributing the information from the source port to selective ones of the destination ports based on the prior referencing step. A DSL system for providing multicast delivery of information includes an ATM network layer for sending information, a digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM) coupled to the ATM network layer for receiving the information, and a network control system for controlling selective multiplexing of the information through the digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM).
