I'm currently investigating several methods of monitoring the performance of cable modems.
So far, I've come across
- Broadband forum: TR-069 -> TR-143 (Enabling Network Throughput Performance Tests and Statistical Monitoring)
- Cablelabs: SLED (Software Loopback Application for eDOCSIS)
Unfortunately, besides the official documents there isn't much info out there and I'm wondering if anybody has some
further info on these 'standards' or has also done some investigation?
I am looking to put a CMTS in place to test against some wireless cable modems in an automated testbed. What I am looking for is a small CMTS with a web interface that will allow me to set it up as a bridge so the cable modems receive their DHCP info from ethernet network. I would probably setup between 4 to 10 cable modems to test against.
What CMTS would be best for this setup?
Can a CMTS be put in a bridge mode as I described and work on an IP network? (I have accomplished this setup with an IP-DSLAM and DSL modems successfully...)
