Broadband Remote Access Server (B-RAS)
Definition - What does Broadband Remote Access Server (B-RAS) mean?
A broadband remote access server (B-RAS) is a specialized server based at an Internet service provider (ISP) network that facilitates the convergence of multiple Internet traffic sources. These sources include cable, DSL, Ethernet or broadband wireless. B-RAS converges them into a single network that routes traffic to and from digital subscriber line access multiplexers.
