  • Method and system for cloned cable modem detection
    Patent number: 7716468
    Abstract: A method and a system for providing a service in a network, is provided. In one embodiment, a first modem with a first address, which is identical to a second address of a second modem, requests for services in the network. A modem termination system (MTS) checks whether the first modem is a clone of the second modem. If the first modem is identified to be the clone of the second modem, then, the first modem is restricted from obtaining the requested service. However, the second modem is continuously provided services.
