High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line
<communications, protocol> (HDSL) A form of Digital Subscriber Line,
providing T1 or E1 connections over two or three twisted-pair copper lines,
respectively. Unlike most other forms of DSL HDSL is not a typical consumer
service, it's used mostly to replace traditional T1/E1 connections, such as
connecting PBXes to telco offices. The advantage of HDSL over the Alternate Mark
Inversion line coding scheme traditionally used on T1/E1 lines is that it
requires about an order of magnitude lower bandwidth to carry the same traffic.
