We have been trying to figure out the best way to control our issues for cable modems. We have switched to the IBBS platform and are discovering issues in our system that we were not aware of. I wanted to get a little prospective on how others out there are using this system.
How are you sweeping your system and what parameters are being used to do so?
How you control your SNR and break up the plant to discover problem areas?
More questions will probably arise as responses start coming in
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?
