CMTS Commands

 

 

cable downstream threshold

The cable downstream threshold command specifies downstream channel upper and lower queue thresholds. This command allows an operator to configure "back pressure" parameters for various applications. For example, if the BSR is running both a time critical application (such as Voice Over IP) and best effort service, the cable downstream threshold command guarantees that the downstream scheduler can only release bandwidth within a certain specified range to the downstream channel. When a higher priority VOIP packet arrives, the VOIP packet will move ahead of the previously queued downstream non-VOIP data.
