I strongly recommend you spend some quality time with the DOCSIS spec... Personally, I think DSL and wireless modems would benefit from using DOCSIS. I have not thought hard about this issue and am interested in other opinions...You do learn fast! ;-)
I haven't yet learned not to make weak jokes on mailing lists...
However you'd better watch out. DOCSIS-1.0 is an implementer's worst nightmare. At best it provides a low-level physical layer spec. and the rest of it is pretty much useless in prodcution. 2.0 solves some of the problems, but introduces more.
My experience has been that DOCIS-1.0 is unusable, 1.1 works well. I have no experience with 2.0. But then, I don't get out much... [sorry! weak joke!] regards, fletcher
