Introduction to EuroDOCSIS

OVERVIEW

The DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS technology is the leading technology for broadband IP access in cable networks. The DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS cable networks are also the basis for all next generation packet-based services like VoIP, video conferencing and other high-speed multimedia services.
The introduction course comprehensively covers all aspects of the EuroDOCSIS
technology: the architecture, the cable modem’s provisioning process, security
issues and their solutions, quality of service, management and much more.
