DOCSIS Set-Top Gateway Issue 1.0
Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC introduces support for DOCSIS Set-Top Gateway (DSG) Issue 1.0 on the
Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router. The DOCSIS Set-Top Gateway (DSG) feature allows the
Cisco CMTS to provide a class of cable services known as out-of-band (OOB) messaging to set-top
boxes (STBs) over existing DOCSIS networks. This allows MSOs and other service providers to
combine both DOCSIS and STB operations over one, open, vendor-independent network, without any
change to the existing network or cable modems.
DSG is a CableLabs® specification that allows the Cisco CMTS to provide a class of cable services
known as out-of-band (OOB) messaging to set-top boxes (STBs) over existing Data-over-Cable Service
Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) cable networks. DSG 1.0 allows cable Multi-System Operators
(MSOs) and other service providers to combine both DOCSIS and STB operations over a single, open
and vendor-independent network without requiring any changes to the existing DOCSIS network
infrastructure.
At the time of this Cisco publication, the CableLabs® DOCSIS DSG specification is in the current status
of “Issued” as characterized by stability, rigorous review in industry and cross-vendor interoperability.
For additional information about configuring and using DSG 1.0 on the Cisco uBR10012 router, refer to
