Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes identifying one or more channel queues associated with one or more RF channels, wherein the one or more RF channels are associated with a Data Over Cable System Interface Specification (DOCSIS) bonding group and wherein the DOCSIS bonding group receives downstream data from a first node, determining a data usage of the DOCSIS bonding group, determining that a data rate of the downstream data is to be modified based on at least one of the one or more channel queues or the data usage of the DOCSIS bonding group, and causing the first node to modify the data rate of the downstream data based on the determination.
