  • ABSTRACT: Since the high bandwidth and popular usage are the characteristics of cable television network, it becomes one of the main solutions for residential network. The cable television network is a kind of asymmetric bandwidth architecture, which generates certain performance issues. This paper discusses the issues stemmed from asymmetric bandwidth. It briefly introduces Data over Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) standard, which is the most popular standard for cable television network today. The rest of the paper discusses the operations and mechanisms in DOCSIS that solve those performance issues and some other possible improvements.
