ABSTRACT:
A cable modem termination system including a media access controller, at least one physical layer transceiver in connection with the media access controller for receiving and transmitting data, a CPU interface configured to communicate with a CPU, and a network functions module in communication with the media access controller and the CPU interface. The network functions module is configured to conduct flow management and classification functions upon packets traveling through the media access controller.
