Channel assignment based on subscribed service level

摘要

Systems and methods can be operable to provide subscription service level based channel assignment for network devices. In some implementations, such systems and methods can operate to create service flow list for use in assigning channels to CPE devices (e.g., modems, eMTAs, STBs, etc.). Such systems and methods can assist in assigning CPE devices to channels that correspond to their subscribed service level, thereby facilitating delivery of the proper level of service.
