ETSI/ITU V5 Interface¶

The V5 interface was introduced into digital Central Office / Telephone exchanges as a vendor-independent, standards-based interface for aggregating subscriber access lines.

See this video recording of a presentation for more information about this interface.

We are in the process of acquiring a number of V5 access multiplexers (AN) and laforge has started an implementation of exchange (LE) side V5 protocol stack.
