发明名称 METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING AN EFFICIENT USE OF BROADBAND NETWORK RESOURCES
摘要 A hybrid fiber coax (HFC) network management method and system (16) for use in a broadband network (10) having a hybrid fiber coax (HFC) network (12) provided with network elements (24, 30, 36) operable for communicating telephony, data, and video signals with customer-premises equipment (CPE) (1 4, 46). The network elements include a host digital terminal (HDT) (56) for communicating the telephony signals, a cable modem termination system (CMTS) (54) for communicating the data signals, and video equipment (58) for communicating the video signals; a fiber optics network (12) connecting the HDT, CMTS, and video equipment to a fiber optics node (64); and a coax cable network (12) connecting the fiber optics node to the CPE. The HFC network management method and system include a service, design, and inventory (SDI) system (93) having a database operable for storing data indicative of an inventory of th e network elements and the CPE in the HFC network, for storing data indicative of configuration of the network elements and the CPE in the HFC network, and fo r storing data indicative of assigned capacity of the HFC network based on the configuration of the network elements and the CPE.
