I've archived a copy of the slides and draft for extending ANCP at:
http://personal.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/L.Wood/publications/internet-drafts/draft-floreani-ancp-wireless/

ANCP could be one way to communicate a modem's varying speed to the router a hop along via simple information reports, but, given that this applies ANCP outside of its trusted headend domain, there are probably a lot of (unfounded?) security concerns about crossing the divide of ownership

I suppose that the problem of communicating varying link speeds to a connected upstream/downstream router needs to be solved for DSL in general somehow by the DSL forum -- and then that method, whatever it is, could then be generalised beyond DSL to work for other modem technologies. It's certainly not a problem central to ANCP or this workgroup.

cheers,

L.
