5、endation J.218 was approved on 29 July 2007 by ITU-T Study Group 9 (2005-2008) under the ITU-T Recommendation A.8 procedure. ii ITU-T Rec. J.218 (07/2007) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information
6、 and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide
7、 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 Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA R
8、esolution 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, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administrat
9、ion 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 applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions a
10、re 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 with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the p
11、ossibility 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 applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of t
12、he Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest inf
13、ormation and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/. ITU 2008 All rights reserved.

19、J.218 Cable modem IPv4 and IPv6 eRouter specification 1 Scope This Recommendation defines a core set of features that enables multiple subscriber devices to gain access to operator-provided high speed data service using DOCSIS. This core set of features allows for both IPv4 and IPv6 enabled devices
20、to gain connectivity to the Internet. The eRouter is specified as an embedded service/application functional entity (eSAFE) device as defined in ITU-T J.126 that is implemented in conjunction with a DOCSIS Cable Modem device. The core set of features defined in this Recommendation includes the abili
21、ty to provision multiple CPE devices, a description of how to forward data to and from CPE devices and also the ability to forward IP multicast traffic to CPE devices. NOTE The structure and content of this Recommendation have been organized for ease of use by those familiar with the original source
22、 material; as such, the usual style of ITU-T recommendations has not been applied. 2 References 2.1 Normative references The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation. At the time of pub
23、lication, the editions indicated were valid. All Recommendations and other references are subject to revision; users of this Recommendation are therefore encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the Recommendations and other references listed below. A list of
24、the currently valid ITU-T Recommendations is regularly published.
