said by espaeth:said by Anonymous_:cable modem Noise Traffic is 5GB to 6GB all ready
The noise traffic is broadcast traffic, and shouldn't be counted against the unicast byte counters per associated MAC on the CMTS. I've had some "drive time" on the Cisco uBR CMTS in the lab, and that traffic is definitely excluded from the reported individual modem/MAC byte totals on that platform.
I'm sure they can be added as "common traffic" to all accounts, the users must pay for the basic traffic usage of any provisioned connection.
