Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Techniques are provided for controlling downstream Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) access points. At the CCAP access point having a network interface and a coaxial interface, control plane information is received from a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) via the network interface, where the control plane information is designed to configure the CCAP access point to enable communication over the network interface and the coaxial interface. At the CCAP access point, data plane and control plane information is transmitted to the CMTS, and may include information from one or more customer termination devices.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: at a Modular Cable Modem Termination System (M-CMTS) core to support downstream and upstream communications to and from downstream customer premise equipment (CPE) through an access point, implementing an Upstream External PHY Interface (UEPI) protocol with an access point for control of the upstream communication, the implementing including: generating first UEPI control messages comprising information to configure one or more pathways…
