METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OUT-OF-BAND MESSAGING BETWEEN CUSTOMERPREMISES EQUIPMENT AND A CABLE MODEM TERMINATION STATION

摘要

Method and system for Out-Of-Band (OOB) massaging with Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) configured to receive OOB messaging signals from a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS). The method and system include determining whether a DCD message identifying data tunnels includes a DCD message identifier matching with a CPE identifier such that the data tunnels identified in the matching DCD message are tuned to by the CPE.
