Overview
Converged services is the term applied to the deployment of various applications such as voice, video, and high speed data
on a single C4/c CMTS. Voice and data are on the same channels.
QoS Levels
Ensuring QoS in a Converged Services Environment
To ensure that appropriate QoS levels are enforced in this mixed services environment, QoS parameters must be applied
to enforce appropriate relative prioritization of traffic.
ARRIS recommends the utilization of some of these DOCSIS parameters in association with each of the applications that
might potentially run on the C4/c CMTS. Keep in mind that other settings can be used, as long as the relative priority of the
various applications is set as desired. However, some of the values are strongly recommended, as noted, based on ARRIS
experiences with lab testing of converged services in system overload conditions. See table below.
