In ADSL, the data throughput in the upstream direction (the direction to the service provider) is lower, hence the designation of asymmetric service. In symmetric digital subscriber line (SDSL) services, the downstream and upstream data rates are equal. Researchers at Bell Labs have reached speeds of 10 Gbit/s, while delivering 1 Gbit/s symmetrical broadband access services using traditional copper telephone lines.
OSS ILS refers to Open Source Software Integrated Library Systems. The open source software movement is based on the belief that users should have access to the source code of the software they use. Users are generally free to use, modify, and redistribute the software back to the community.
MVS, OS/390, z/OS operating system. MVS (Multiple Virtual Storage) is the operating system which is developed by IBM in the sixties and supports POSIX. MVS was developed further from MVT operating system and extended by many functions like the use of virtual memory. It is used in IBM mainframes like the system /370 and system /390, needs low hardware requirements and convinces by a high stability in long-term operating mode.
