Abstract:
Cable modems based on the DOCSIS(R) specification provide broadband
Internet access to over one hundred million users worldwide. In some
cases, the cable modem connection is the bottleneck (lowest speed)
link between the customer and the Internet. As a result, the impact
of buffering and bufferbloat in the cable modem can have a
significant effect on user experience. The CableLabs DOCSIS 3.1
specification introduces requirements for cable modems to support an
Active Queue Management (AQM) algorithm that is intended to alleviate
the impact that buffering has on latency sensitive traffic, while
preserving bulk throughput performance. In addition, the CableLabs
DOCSIS 3.0 specifications have also been amended to contain similar
requirements. This document describes the requirements on Active
Queue Management that apply to DOCSIS equipment, including a
description of the "DOCSIS-PIE" algorithm that is required on DOCSIS
3.1 cable modems.
