    摘要: A method and system are provided to allow a cable modem to resolve addresses for a selected network host interface on a cable television network to connect the cable modem to a data network (e.g., the Internet). The cable modem is used in a data-over-cable system with telephony return. The cable modem is connected to a cable television network over a downstream cable data channel and connected to a public switched telephone network over a serial telephone line. The method provides a way for the cable modem to resolve an address for a selected network host interface (e.g., Internet Protocol host) available on the cable television system via the upstream channel connected to public switched telephone network. The method includes using existing Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol messages and message fields to discover network host interfaces available on the cable television system even though the cable modem only has downstream connection from the cable television network. The method and system can also be used on a data-over-cable system without telephony return.

The method provides a way for the cable modem to determine the address of network host interfaces (e.g., Internet Protocol hosts) available on the cable television system via the upstream channel connected to public switched telephone network. The method includes using existing Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ("DHCP") messages and message fields to discover network host interfaces available on the cable television system even though the cable modem only has downstream connection from the cable television network. The method and are used without changes to DHCP and can also be used in a data-over-cable system without telephony return.

    摘要: A method and system for managing network services such as subscription services from a cable modem in a data-over-cable system. The cable modem receives an initialization message on a cable television connection indicating what services are available on a data network. The cable modem uses a connection to a public switched telephone network in the data-over-cable system to send requests to and receive responses from the data network. A telephony remote access concentrator on the public switched telephone network provides an additional security mechanism by not allowing a cable modem to subscribe to unauthorized services. Using the public switched telephone network does not compromise the security of the cable television network. In addition, the public switched telephone network is used to provide administrative support to the cable television network on lower bandwidth connections by providing an administrative pathway outside of the higher bandwidth cable television connections.
