APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR REGISTERING TRANSMISSION CAPACITIES IN A BROADBAND ACCESS NETWORK

摘要

An access node for use in a broadband access network is described. The access node is characterized in that it is configured to determine at least one characteristic in the access node pertaining to the uplink capacity of a logical link between the access node and an aggregation network node in the broadband access network, determine the uplink capacity of the logical link based on the at least one determined characteristic in the access node, and provide a network gateway node in the broadband access network with access to the determined uplink capacity of the logical link. A resource database and a network gateway node are also described. Furthermore, methods and computer program products for use in the access node, the resource database and the network gateway node are described, as well as, a broadband access network.
