CABLE MODEM LINK LAYER BRIDGE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an enhanced cable modem link layer bridge. SOLUTION: The cable modem link layer bridge includes a downstream transfer task and an upstream transfer task. The downstream transfer task is configured to receive a 1st message from a cable network and transfer the 1st message to equipment (CPE) at customer's premises. The upstream transfer task is configured to receive a 2nd message from the CPE and transfer the 2nd message to the cable network, and multi-task processing is applied to the upstream transfer task and the downstream transfer task so that the upstream transfer task transfers the 2nd message, while the downstream transfer task transfers the 1st message.
