ABSTRACT:
A cable network is provided with at least one bridge that is connected to a first cable segment of the cable network. The bridge receives from a shared communication medium a first carrier signal, having a first carrier frequency that is allocated for intra cable segment packet communication, containing packets modulated thereon. The bridge demodulates selected packets originating in the first cable segment from the first carrier signal. The bridge modulates each of the demodulated packets, that are destined outside of the first cable segment, onto a second carrier signal having a second carrier frequency. The bridge then transmits the second carrier signal on an upstream link of the common shared medium.
