Well-Structured, Maintainable Code	RFC Descriptions
ML-PPP/ PPP Features	Special Features & Upgrade Modules

TsLink3 DSL Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) source code is among the telecom and datacom protocol stacks that TeleSoft International licenses to developers. Manufacturers license TsLink3 DSL PPP source code and other TsLink3 conformance-proven source code stacks to accelerate the development and conformance testing of in-band signaling products.

TsLink3 signaling protocol source code is architected for applications, both embedded and host-based, in which performance and code size are important.

For:

DSL modems
DSL routers
DSL test equipment
DSL termination nodes

For additional testing and development view Broadframe's DSL Network Simulator & DSL Protocol Analyzer products.

"We appreciated TeleSoft's code flexibility and the reliability of the technical support. TeleSoft technical support ensures that customers can successfully integrate and adapt TsLink3 code for their own platform." -- Digicom, Italy

Maintainability and scalability are designed into each TsLink3 stack. Comprehensive comments and documentation support you or a colleague as your product goes forward. The value of TsLink3 stacks will be evident in each phase of your engineering schedule and the product life span.

Shorter Learning Curve & Faster Customization

Consistent use of IETF RFC state mechanisms -> Clear, traceable protocol handshakes.
'C' switch statements that closely correspond to the ITU-T standard -> Straightforward to locate the event/state action points in the ITU-T standard.
Adherence to ANSI 'C' standards -> full portability.
OS-independence -> Choice of RTOS, not locked into a single vendor.
Processor-independence -> Mobility across CPU platforms.
Simple state machine design -> Easy to understand protocol negotiation between peers.

Faster Debugging

Development and testing on TsLink3 hardware -> Clean, proven "rock solid" code.

RFC Descriptions

RFC2684, Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM LLC/SNAP — two encapsulation methods for carrying network interconnect traffic over AAL type 5 over ATM. The first method allows multiplexing of multiple protocols over a single ATM virtual connection whereas the second method assumes that each protocol is carried over a separate ATM virtual connection.
RFC2364, Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM PPPoA —provides the ability to establish a point-to-point relationship between peers using ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) for framing PPP encapsulated packets.
RFC2516, Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet PPPoE — provides the ability to connect a network of hosts over a simple bridging access device to a remote Access Concentrator by encapsulating PPP packets over Ethernet.

Special Features and Upgrade Modules

Universal Application Programming Interface (UAPI)
TsLink3 code includes a rich message-based Universal API (UAPI) which presents a simple interface for simple applications such as "signaling-only." UAPI also provides the versatility and power needed to support more complex configurations which combine signaling with data protocols or with specialized hardware. The TsLink3 Universal API coupled with the straightforward structure of the TsLink3 protocol stack enables you to easily follow the API message flow through the code to determine where to make modifications required for your application.

The majority of simple "signaling-only" applications require a very small subset of the TsLink3 API messages and parameters - and the non-applicable messages can be disregarded and unused parameters set to zero. More complex applications benefit from the large set of messages and parameters that we provide as templates.

UAPI is common across all TeleSoft stacks which decreases the time and effort required to add upgrade modules to an existing TsLink3 stack and to develop with additional TeleSoft stacks.

High Availability (HA)
TsLink3 supports High Availability applications for high density switches with multiple modes of HA operation, including the seven key elements of HA. Please refer to the TeleSoft HA White Paper for details. Applications requiring HA will benefit from the TsLink3 stack capacity to support up to 64,000 simultaneous connections and up to 256 ports.

Software Tools
Internal Protocol State Logging Tool and Debugging Tool are invaluable aids during portation and integration, included with every TsLink3 stack at no additional charge.
