Re: DOCSIS 3.0 Ultra/Extreme Problems in IL said by anon123 :said by mig288:Thanks for the info. My config file name is d11_m_sb6120_widebandblast_c01.cm. That's the correct bootfile for 50/10. Wonder why the term "blast" is even used there.
Seems that can be a bit confusing..
I also wonder why the first part (d11) which in the past around here has been thought by many to signify a DOCSIS 1.1 registration with the CMTS, is still the same ?
If it did mean the registration, should it not now be d30 for DOCSIS 3.0 ?
Wonder if we've been incorrect about that all along, or did CC just overlook this in the naming convention of the new files ? |

I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps the reason is because they haven't finalized the D3 spec and will ultimately provide end users with much higher bandwith as they work out the channel bonding with both the downstream and upstream. My modem only shows that I'm using 3 channels. It's really quite interesting!
Thoughts? |

Wonder if we've been incorrect about that all along, or did CC just overlook this in the naming convention of the new files ? I don't like the bootfile name either but it is correct for 50/10. It points at the extrm_dn and extrm_up service class names (someone posted the contents of the bootfile earlier in this thread.) The speeds are set on the CMTS for the extreme tier.
It's been explained to me that the d11 signifies what DOCSIS QoS version is being used.
»www.ittc.ku.edu/publications/doc···aran.pdf
Also see the Wikipedia entry for DOCSIS:
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS
I don't believe there have been any significant changes related to QoS in any of the subsequent DOCSIS releases. |

Those are the provisioning flavors of DOCSIS and differ in how they schedule traffic. The physical and MAC layers also differ and thats where you have they MAC/PHY flavors of D1.0, D1.1, D2.0, and D3.0. |

I'm just saying that it would be nice, and there would be less confusion if end users could see their actual DOCSIS registration stat in the naming of their config file. |
