Overview
This chapter provides information on the Connection Admission Control (CAC) feature that is used to determine if
adequate channel bandwidth is available to permit new service flows to be established. This includes Multicast flows (IP
Video and DOCSIS Set-Top Gateway or DSG) for the CAC feature.
The C4/c CMTS provides the capability for partitioning the available bandwidth on a per channel basis between telephony
(Voice Over IP or VoIP), IP Video, and High Speed Data (HSD) services. The data portion of the channel bandwidth is still
allowed to be over-subscribed.
