摘要： Provided is a method by which a cable modem reports a downstream packet resequencing status to a cable modem termination system, and more particularly, a method of effectively reporting detailed information on a packet resequencing status by further defining a packet resequencing-related event and event-related information in a message reporting the packet resequencing status. The method by which a cable modem reports a resequencing status of the resequenced packets includes the steps of: when a packet resequencing-related event occurs, generating a resequencing status message (CM-STATUS) including packet sequence numbers of packets causing the event; transmitting a band allocation request message for requesting a cable modem termination system to allocate an upstream band for transmission of the resequencing status message; and transmitting the resequencing status message to the cable modem termination system over the upstream band allocated by the band allocation request message. More detailed resequencing status information, such as the remaining capacity of the receive buffer and the resequenced packet map, for more packet resequencing-related events compared to the conventional downstream packet resequencing status reporting method, is transmitted to the CMTS, such that the CMTS copes more flexibly with situations that may occur upon packet resequencing.

摘要： Provided is a method of controlling the flow of downstream traffic in a cable network headend. The method includes the steps of: establishing a session with the modulator; transferring traffic to the modulator over the session; and receiving a buffer-status reporting message reporting the status of a receive buffer from the modulator while transferring the traffic. The method reports buffer-status information of an Edge-Quadrature Amplitude Modulator (E-QAM) to a traffic source, thereby enabling control of the transfer rate of traffic transferred from the traffic source to the E-QAM and preventing overflow/underflow of a receive buffer, packet loss and deterioration of channel use.

摘要： A method and apparatus of transmitting a resource-request for efficiently using a Service Identifier (SID) resource in a Cable Modem (CM) system supporting upstream channel-bonding relates a method of transmitting an upstream packet in the CM system for performing transmission using a plurality of upstream channels.Since a difference between a resource-request and resource-allocation when performing an additive resource-request with respect to new-generated packets before completing resource-allocation with respect to a previous resource-request transmitted by a CM causes an upstream transmission queue depth increase in the CM and delay due to the increase, a method of solving the above-described problem is provided.A method of recalculating a bandwidth amount requested by a CM using a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) having received a Cumulative (bandwidth) Request (CR) and an Additive (bandwidth) Request (AR) from the CM is provided.
