I'm trying to understand networking concepts, and I came across the term 'DAA'. I'm not sure what it stands for or its function within a network. Could someone explain what a DAA is in the context of networking?

    Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) is a network design concept that revolutionizes the traditional way of delivering services to end-users.

    Instead of having all functions centralized in a headend or hub, DAA distributes these functions closer to the user.

    This approach enables faster and more efficient delivery of services, as data does not have to travel long distances to reach its destination.

    DAA also enhances scalability, as new services or capacity can be added easily without disrupting existing infrastructure.

    It provides greater flexibility in network design, allowing service providers to tailor their networks to specific needs and environments.
