Tackling the complexity of residential gateways in an unbundling value chain
conference paper
Various crucial multi-disciplinary issues have been investigated concerning residential gateway (RG) technology applicable in an unbundled telecommunications value chain. We find that the Calculating-with-Concepts method can be used to construct an unambiguous frame of reference for digital rights management and end-to-end security architectures. We also conclude that some types of RGs can perfectly act as explicitly configured or transparent proxy-caches at the lowest level of a caching hierarchy. Furthermore, we discovered that the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol seems attractive for remote RG configuration management. Finally, linking devices, services, and RG functionality via a user interface with intuitive object based metaphors can enhance the user experience significantly.
