Chapter 1 Overview of Cisco uBR7200 Series Software
Supported Software Features for the Cisco uBR7200 Series
•
Best effort-Data traffic sent on a non-guaranteed best-effort basis
•
Committed Information Rate (CIR)—Guaranteed minimum bandwidth for data traffic
•
Unsolicited Grants (UGS)—Constant bit rate (CBR) traffic, such as voice, that is characterized by
fixed size packets at fixed intervals
•
Real Time Polling (rtPS)—Real Time service flows, such as video, that produce unicast, variable
size packets at fixed intervals
•
Unsolicited Grants with Activity Detection (USG-AD)—Combination of UGS and RTPS, to
accommodate real time traffic that might have periods of inactivity (such as voice using silence
suppression). The service flow uses UGS fixed grants while active, but switches to RTPS polling
during periods of inactivity to avoid wasting unused bandwidth.
•
Enhanced time-slot scheduling mechanisms to support guaranteed delay/jitter sensitive traffic on the
shared multiple access upstream link
DOCSIS 1.1 Two-way Transmission (Cisco uBR7246VXR Router)
The Cisco uBR7200 series routers allow DOCSIS 1.1 two-way transmission of digital data and Voice
over IP (VoIP) traffic over a hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network. The Cisco uBR7200 series support IP
routing with a wide variety of protocols and combinations of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet,
serial, High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI), Packet over SONET (POS) OC-3 and OC-12c, and
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) media.
Downstream Channel ID
This feature allows all cable modems in an HFC network to identify themselves via unique downstream
channel IDs instead of their downstream frequencies.
To configure the downstream channel ID, use the
cable downstream channel-id
configuration
command. Use the
no
form of this command to set the downstream channel ID to its default value.
cable downstream channel-id
id
no cable downstream channel-id

Downstream Frequency Override
Downstream frequency override allows the CMTS administrator to change the downstream frequency
assigned to a cable modem, overriding the frequency set in the cable modem DOCSIS configuration file.
To enable cable downstream frequency override, use the
cable downstream override
command in cable
interface configuration mode. To disable the override feature, use the
no
form of this command.
cable downstream override
no cable downstream override

id
Specifies a downstream channel ID. Valid values are from 1 to 255.
