DOCSIS 3.0 required that CM must have 4 or more upstream channel transmitters. This translates into the
possibility of 100mbps+ upstream rate…
Removed DOCSIS 2.0/1.x single request-grant cycle bottleneck.
Bonded Flows allow multiple outstanding BW-REQ.
BW can be requested on any of the bonded upstream channels
Requests can be granted on any of the bonded upstream channels
Reduced upstream latency (TCP ACK) also increases DS throughput. [TCP application]
Bonds multiple, physical upstream transmit channels to form a larger, logical upstream channel.
