In depth EuroDOCSIS 3.0

Overview

The EuroDOCSIS 3.0 is the next version of the EuroDOCSIS set of specifications. This course discusses the features of 3.0 and their implications on the network. The goal is to provide insight into the EuroDOCSIS 3.0 mechanisms and how to monitor the 3.0 system. The relationship with and backwards compatibility to previous EuroDOCSIS versions will also be discussed. By attending this course engineers will understand how they can use the EuroDOCSIS 3.0 features.

What can you expect?

• Understand the new features that 3.0 brings
• Understand how to prepare your network for 3.0
