Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line

Symmetric digital subscriber line (SDSL) can have two meanings:

  • In the wider sense it is a collection of Internet access technologies based on DSL that offer symmetric bandwidth upstream and downstream. It is considered the opposite of asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) technologies where the upstream bandwidth is lower than the downstream bandwidth.
  • In the narrow sense SDSL is a particular DSL variant that supports data only on a single line and does not support analog calls.

Famous quotes containing the word line:

    “As for conforming outwardly, and living your own life inwardly, I do not think much of that. Let not your right hand know what your left hand does in that line of business. It will prove a failure.... It is a greater strain than any soul can long endure. When you get God to pulling one way, and the devil the other, each having his feet well braced,—to say nothing of the conscience sawing transversely,—almost any timber will give way.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
