Abstract :
The modern hybrid fiber coax (HFC) CATV cable plant offers an excellent high-speed digital transmission medium between the CATV´s headend and individual homes. Cable companies are laying high-capacity, high-speed digital backbone networks connecting their headends and the outside world together. Therefore, if we could design an access network via the HFC cable plant to the backbone network then we would have a complete information super-highway system. This is the motivation for our work.
