said by espaeth:said by ztmike:Why are they even doing traffic management? Isn't Docsis 3 suppose to solve most of these issues?
Adding a lane to a freeway makes things better, but it doesn't necessary solve rush hour.
The DOCSIS 3 plant is still oversubscribed, which means there is still always the possibility of congestion.
This isn't something that's used to solve the problem of links being congested 50% of the time, this is for links congested 1% of the time or less.
Then they need to split those nodes also.
