Abstract
A method for transmitting upstream data in a cable network is provided. The method includes a cable modem (CM) receiving a generic service identifier (G-SID) included in a corresponding information element (IE) in a data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS) upstream bandwidth allocation MAP message. The G-SID is a unique identifier assigned to the CM. The method includes the CM transmitting the upstream data for one or more service flows of the CM via at least a portion of the CM bandwidth allocation.
