Method and apparatus for controlling traffic loading of different service levels in a cable data system

摘要

A method and apparatus for providing connection admission control (CAC) on a cable data system helps provide viable quality of service (QoS) capability on a cable data system. Cable data service is granted or denied to cable data service to said requesting subscriber based in part upon the determination of whether the available bandwidth is greater than, less than or equal to the bandwidth to be allocated to the requesting subscriber.
