Patent ID: 8842527

Claim:
A Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) system, comprising: a first DSL loop segment communicatively connected to a first user Customer Premises Equipment (CPE); a second DSL loop segment communicatively connected to a second user CPE; a first junction to connect the first DSL loop segment to a third DSL loop segment; a second junction to connect the second DSL loop segment to the third DSL loop segment; a fourth DSL loop segment communicatively connected to the first user CPE; a fifth DSL loop segment communicatively connected to the second user CPE; a third junction to connect the fourth DSL loop segment to a sixth DSL loop segment; a fourth junction to connect the fifth DSL loop segment to the sixth DSL loop segment; and a line termination DSL device connected to the third DSL loop segment and the sixth DSL loop segment to combine multiple streams of DSL data communication received over the third DSL loop segment and the sixth DSL loop segment from the first user CPE and the second user CPE into a single channel and to multiplex DSL data communication into multiple data streams to be sent to the first user CPE and the second user CPE over the third DSL loop segment and the sixth DSL loop segment.
