Constraints
There are two constraints to this high-speed
modem technology,
- The increased speeds are only achieved in one
direction.
- Only one analog connection is permitted in the
entire transmission ltnk
With high-speed modems, the transfer rate is
asymmetrical. the downstream transfer rate is up
to 56K. but the upstream rate IS up to 31.2K. This
means that when you’re downloading ﬁlﬁ from a
remote server (such as an Internet server or your
company’s remote access server} your ﬁles
transfer at the 56K rate. but when you upload files.
your transfer rate IS slower.
Furthermore, high—speed modern technology can
only operate when no more than one analog

the remainder of the entire connection path must

modem connections (for example, one home user
calling another home user) Wlll have 33.6K
