Load Balancing for the Cisco CMTS

The Load Balancing on the Cisco CMTS feature allows service providers to optimally use both
downstream and upstream bandwidth, enabling the deployment of new, high-speed services such as voice
and video services. This feature also can help reduce network congestion due to the uneven distribution of
cable modems across the cable network and due to different usage patterns of individual customers.
By default, the Cisco CMTS platforms use a form of load balancing that attempts to equally distribute
the cable modems to different upstreams when the cable modems register. You can refine this form of
load balancing by imposing a limit on the number of cable modems that can register on any particular
upstream, using the cable upstream admission-control command.
However, this default form of load balancing affects the cable modems only when they initially register
with the Cisco CMTS. It does not dynamically rebalance the cable modems at later times, such as when
they might change upstream channels in response to RF noise problems, or when bandwidth conditions
change rapidly because of real-time traffic such as Voice over IP (VoIP) and video services. It also does
not affect how the cable modems are distributed among downstream channels.

Management Information Base (MIB) Changes and Enhancements

MIB enhancements in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(17a)BC provide enhanced management features that
enable the Cisco uBR 7200 Series router and the Cisco uBR10012 router to be managed through the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). These enhanced management features allow you to:

The show cable modem remote-query command displays the collected information:
Downstream receive power level
–
Downstream signal/noise ratio (SNR)
–
Upstream power level
–
– Transmit timing offset
Micro reflection (in dB)
