Abstract
A integrated circuit device for use in a line card of a digital networking system is capable of intercepting one or more control messages corresponding to a requested data channel sent from at least one customer premises equipment (CPE) device. The integrated circuit device is also capable of receiving a plurality of data channels from a data server of the digital networking system and providing the one or more requested data channels to the at least one CPE device, thereby providing faster data channel selecting and switching capabilities.
