MAP can be deployed for large-scale carrier networks. There are typically two network models for broadband access service: - one is to use PPPoE/PPPoA authentication method while the other is to use IPoE. - The first one is usually applied to Residential network and SOHO networks. - Subscribers in CPNs can access broadband network by PPP dial-up authentication. - BRAS is the key network element which takes full responsibility of IP address - assignment, user authentication, traffic aggregation, PPP session termination, - etc. Then IP traffic is forwarded to Core Routers through Metro Area Network, - and finally transited to Internet via Backbone network.
