Exploring the Impact of Mixing Delay Sensitive and Delay Insensitive Traffi c on DOCSIS Networks
Stuart J. Lipoff · 2006
Results are presented, and discussed, of discrete event simulation and mathematical modeling exploring the quality of service (QoS) cross impacts of mixing various types of delay insensitive (e.g. web surfi ng) and delay sensitive (e.g. VoIP telephony) on a DOCSIS network. Of particular interest is the impact on over-the-top streaming traffi c when the operator asserts QoS control over streaming services offered and managed by the cable operator.
