Abstract
The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for connecting a plurality of subscriber loops to a pool of modem resources in a way that limits the amount of modem resources that are required. The present invention uses statistical multiplexing, such as is used in Ethernet (instead of a fixed time slot TDM as is used in a telephone system) to connect the plurality of subscriber loops to the modem resources. In order to implement the statistical multiplexing, communications between a plurality of remote modems coupled to a plurality of subscriber loops and modem resources within a central site modem must be flow controlled at the carrier layer, as is done in an Ethernet.
