There are two options for physical layer technology, which have equal priority and are not requi

4、red to be interoperable. One technology option is based on the downstream multi-programme television distribution that is deployed using 6 MHz channelling, and supports upstream transmission in the 5-42 MHz region. The second technology option is based on a multi-programme television distribution us

5、ing 8 MHz channel spacing and supports upstream in the 5-65 MHz region. Both options have equal status. The first of these options is defined in clauses B.4, B.6 and B.7, whereas the second is defined by replacing the content of those clauses with the content of Annex B.N. Annex B.O “Privacy for cab

7、 (03/2004) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff que

8、stions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendatio

9、ns on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation,

10、 the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g. interoperability or a

11、pplicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance wi

12、th the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or appl

13、icability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implemen

14、t this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database.

B.1.3 Background B.1.3.1 Service goals Cable operators are interested in deploying high-speed packet-based communications systems on cable television systems that are capable of supporting a wide variety of services. Services under consideration by cable operators include packe

18、t telephony service, videoconferencing service, T1/frame relay equivalent service, and many others. It has been decided to prepare a series of interface specifications that will permit the early definition, design, development and deployment of data-over-cable systems on a uniform, consistent, open,

19、 non-proprietary, multi-vendor interoperable basis. The intended service will allow transparent bidirectional transfer of Internet Protocol (IP) traffic, between the cable system headend and customer locations, over an all-coaxial or hybrid-fibre/coax (HFC) cable network. This is shown in simplified

20、 form in Figure B.1-1. Figure B.1-1/J.112 Transparent IP traffic through the data-over-cable system The transmission path over the cable system is realized at the headend by a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS), and at each customer location by a Cable Modem (CM). At the headend (or hub), the int

21、erface to the data-over-cable system is called the Cable Modem Termination System Network-Side Interface (CMTS-NSI) and is specified in DOCSIS3. At the customer locations, the interface is called the cable-modem-to-customer-premises-equipment interface (CMCI) and is specified in DOCSIS4. The intent

22、is for operators to transparently transfer IP traffic between these interfaces, including but not limited to datagrams, DHCP, ICMP, and IP Group addressing (broadcast and multicast). B.1.3.2 Reference architecture The reference architecture for the data-over-cable services and interfaces is shown in

23、 Figure B.1-2. NOTE This architecture illustrates the North American frequency plans only and is not normative for European applications. Refer to B.1.1 for applicability. ITU-T Rec. J.112/Annex B (03/2004) 3 Figure B.1-2/J.112 Data-over-cable reference architecture B.1.3.3 Categories of interface s

24、pecification The basic reference architecture of Figure B.1-2 involves five categories of interface. Data Interfaces These are the CMCI DOCSIS4 and CMTS-NSI DOCSIS3, corresponding respectively to the cable-modem-to-customer-premises-equipment (CPE) interface (for example, between the customers compu

25、ter and the cable modem), and the cable modem termination system network-side interface between the cable modem termination system and the data network. Operations Support Systems Interfaces These are network element management layer interfaces between the network elements and the high-level OSSs (o

26、perations support systems) which support the basic business processes, and are documented in SCTE4. Telephone Return Interface CMTRI This is the interface between the cable modem and a telephone return path, for use in cases where the return path is not provided or not available via the cable networ

27、k, and is documented in DOCSIS6. RF Interfaces The RF interfaces defined in Annex B are the following: between the cable modem and the cable network; between the CMTS and the cable network, in the downstream direction (traffic toward the customer); between the CMTS and the cable network, in the upst

28、ream direction (traffic from the customer). Security interfaces Baseline data-over-cable security is defined in ITU-T J.125. 4 ITU-T Rec.
