Abstract:
This document describes the Access Node Control Protocol (ANCP).
ANCP operates between a Network Access Server (NAS) and an Access
Node (e.g., a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM)) in
a multi-service reference architecture in order to perform QoS-
related, service-related and subscriber-related operations. Use
cases for ANCP are documented in RFC 5851. As well as describing the
base ANCP protocol, this document specifies capabilities for Digital
Subscriber Line (DSL) topology discovery, line configuration, and
remote line connectivity testing. The design of ANCP allows for
protocol extensions in other documents if they are needed to support
other use cases and other access technologies.
ANCP is based on GSMPv3 (RFC 3292), but with many modifications and
extensions, to the point that the two protocols are not
interoperable. For this reason, ANCP was assigned a separate version
number to distinguish it.
