A digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM, often pronounced DEE-slam) is a network switch often located in telephone exchanges, that multiplexes multiple downstream links from digital subscriber line (DSL) customers interfaces to an upstream interface. Its cable internet (DOCSIS) counterpart is the cable modem termination system.
