Hello

Thanks for your response.
Well I have come to the believe that no special hardware is required for
this, basically they somehow seem to route this via PPPoE (or at least
that's what I think).
Basically you establish an PPPoE connection and then you somehow must
acquire an virtual ATM device (which carries VCR/VCI.. and encapsulates
this) much like VDSL does with vlan tagging....

Im not sure if Im 100% correct, but for example I can establish the
internet connection with just an normal ADSL2+ Annex J compatible Modem
and PPPoE works too.
What I dont get without this bridging stuff is the IPTV stream, it seems
that on this bridged device an dhcp query is necessary in order to get
access to the multicast net.

regards,
Georg
