A digital receiver, ingress noisecancellation and advanced error correction capability provide superiorRF performance for challenging HFC plant conditions. The high densitydesign (3,000 registered cable modems in 1RU) has the configurationflexibility (2, 4 or 6 upstream channels) to match anticipated trafficpatterns. Traffic load balancing between upstream channels is doneperiodically based on bandwidth utilization. Layer 3 routing (OSPF,RIP, static) and Layer 2 bridging are provisionable on a persub-interface basis. A dual processor architecture with Fast/GigabitEthernet interfaces facilitates high packet throughput.
