Cable Downstream Interleave-Depth - Motorola BSR 64000 Reference Manual

cable downstream interleave-depth

The cable operator can protect the downstream path from excess noise or decrease
latency on the downstream path by setting the interleave depth. A higher interleave
depth provides more protection from noise on the HFC network, but increases
downstream latency. A lower interleave depth decreases downstream latency, but
provides less protection from noise on the HFC network.
The cable downstream interleave-depth command in Interface Configuration mode
to set the downstream port interleave depth criteria, as shown below:
Note: A higher interleave depth provides more protection from bursts of noise
on the HFC network; however, it increases downstream latency.
