    Cisco IOS Release 12.3(13a)BC introduces the ability to exclude trusted MAC addresses from standard DHCP source verification checks, as supported in previous Cisco IOS releases for the Cisco CMTS. This feature enables packets from trusted MAC addresses to pass when otherwise packets would be rejected with standard DHCP source verification.
  • Page 37: Cisco.com

    The service ID (SID) and the source IP address of the packet must match those in the ARP host database on the Cisco CMTS. If the packet check succeeds, the packet is allowed to pass. Rejected packets are discarded in either of these two checks.

    DOCSIS 1.0-based, they receive regular DOCSIS 1.0 treatment from the CMTS. DOCSIS 1.0 Baseline Privacy Interface The Cisco uBR10012 router supports full DOCSIS 1.0 Baseline Privacy Interface (BPI) specifications. The BPI for DOCSIS 1.0 protects user data privacy across the shared-medium cable network and prevents unauthorized access to DOCSIS-based data transport services across the cable network.
  • Page 40 Cisco IOS release 12.3(13a)BC introduces support for the DOCSIS 1.0 concatenation override feature on the Cisco uBR10012 router. This feature provides the ability to disable concatenation on DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems, even in circumstances where concatenation is otherwise supported for the upstream channel.
  • Page 41 Cisco uBR10012 router schedules fixed periodic slots on the upstream for that traffic flow. The CM does not have to contend for these slots and, because the Cisco uBR10012 router controls the timing of slots, it has precise control over potential delay and jitter.

    CMs subscribing to a class with no minimum upstream rate on the upstream channel. The Cisco uBR10012 router also supports multiple service classes per CM and dynamic service identifiers. This allows the Cisco uBR10012 router to dynamically allocate and delete service flows.
  • Page 45 Cisco IOS release 12.3(13a)BC introduces Enhanced Rate Bandwidth Allocation (ERBA) support for DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems and the Cisco uBR10012 router. ERBA allows DOCSIS1.0 modems to burst their temporary transmission rate up to the full line rate for short durations of time. This capability provides higher bandwidth for instantaneous bandwidth requests, such as those in Internet downloads, without having to make changes to existing service levels in the QoS Profile.
  • Page 46 Chapter 1 Overview of Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Software Supported Software Features for the Cisco uBR10012 Router ERBA for DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems is supported with these new or enhanced commands or keywords in Cisco IOS release 12.3(13a)BC: •...

To display ERBA settings as applied to DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems and QoS profiles on the Cisco CMTS, use the show cable qos profile command in Privileged EXEC mode.

  • Page 48 Supported Software Features for the Cisco uBR10012 Router Usage Guidelines If a cable modem registers with a QoS profile that matches one of the existing QoS profiles on the Cisco CMTS, then the maximum downstream burst size, as defined for that profile, is used instead of the default DOCSIS QoS profile of 1522.
  • Page 49: Docsis 1.0+ Feature Support

    DOCSIS 1.0+ Feature Support In response to the limitations of DOCSIS 1.0 in handling real-time traffic, such as voice calls, Cisco created the DOCSIS 1.0+ extensions to provide the more important QoS enhancements that were expected in DOCSIS 1.1. In particular, the DOCSIS 1.0+ enhancements provide basic Voice-over IP (VoIP) service over the DOCSIS link.

To control the echoed multicast traffic, you therefore need to configure an output access list and apply it to each downstream interface.
