DOCSIS 3.1
DOCSIS3.1 technology provides significant new value for cable operators and consumers of broadband services including:
Speed: Defines support for up to 10 Gbps downstream and up to 1 Gbps upstream network capabilities.
Quality of Experience: Utilizes Active Queue Management to significantly reduce network delay as data traffic grows in the home network, dramatically improving responsiveness for applications such as online gaming.
Higher Capacity: Enables a significant increase in network capacity with the ability to transmit up to 50 percent more data over the same spectrum, on existing HFC networks.
Energy Efficiency: Enhancements to the DOCSIS protocols will increase cable modem energy efficiency.
Flexible Migration Strategy: DOCSIS 3.1 modems are designed to co-exist with older versions enabling incremental deployment based on market demand.
