Patent ID: 8711715

Claim:
A method comprising: determining a count of code violations associated with a digital subscriber line; and selecting a particular profile of a plurality of profiles based on a comparison of the count of code violations to a threshold, wherein the plurality of profiles includes at least a first profile associated with a first transmission speed and a second profile associated with a second transmission speed, wherein the first profile is selected as the particular profile when the count of code violations is within a first range, wherein the second profile is selected when the count of code violations is within a second range that is different from the first range, wherein the first transmission speed is a non-interleaved transmission speed and the second transmission speed is an interleaved transmission speed, wherein a first throughput value associated with the first profile is higher than a second throughput value associated with the second profile when the count of code violations is within the first range, and wherein the first throughput value is lower than the second throughput value when the count of code violations is within the second range.
