Using System-defined Tasks
Click Available Devices to view the list of devices from your selection, to which this task applies.
Cable Upstream Task
Use this task to configure the frequency, minislot size, power level and admission control on upstream
cable interfaces. You can apply this task only for a single Cable-CMTS device at a time.
This task is applicable only to Cable devices.
For more details, see Table 9-3.
You can enter the details of this task in the Upstream Configuration dialog box. To invoke this dialog
box, see Starting a New NetConfig Job.
For the features of system-defined tasks and a description of the features of a system-defined task dialog
box, see Understanding the System-defined Task User Interface (Dialog Box).
Note You can apply this task to only a single cable device at a time.
The fields in the Upstream Configuration dialog box are:
Rate Limit Algorithm
(Optional):
• None—Does not modify the rest of the fields.
• Token-bucket with DS Traffic Shaping—Modifies the
Token Bucket Algorithm option.
• Token-bucket without DS Traffic Shaping—Modifies
the Token Bucket without DS Traffic Shaping
Algorithm option
• Weighted-discard—Modifies the Weighted Discard
option.
Token Bucket
(Optional)
Granularity in Milli
seconds (Optional):
Specifies traffic shaping granularity in milliseconds.
This field is enabled only if you have selected the Rate Limit
Algorithm as Token-bucket with DS Traffice Shaping.
Select the required value from the drop-down list. You can
choose a value between 1—16 msec.
Max Delay in Milli
seconds (Optional):
Sets the maximum buffering delay in milliseconds.
This field is enabled only if you have selected the Rate Limit
Algorithm as Token-bucket with DS Traffice Shaping.
Select the required value from the drop-down list. You can
choose a value between 128 to 1024.
Weighted
Discard (1-4)
(Optional)
Weight for the exponential
moving average of loss
rate
Sets the weighted discard algorithm.
This field is enabled only if you have selected the Rate Limit
Algorithm as Weighted Discard.
Enter a weight between 1 - 4.
