  • Provisioning in support of an embedded cable modem MAC address
    Patent number: 10021000
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate the provisioning of a device using an embedded cable modem media access control (MAC) address. An optical network unit (ONU) may include an embedded cable modem, wherein the embedded cable modem has a dedicated MAC address. Provisioning servers may provide identical configuration files to a virtual cable modem at an optical line termination (OLT) and the embedded cable modem at the ONU. The embedded cable modem MAC address, along with an associated Internet protocol (IP) stack, enables traditional DOCSIS cable modem provisioning and management over a passive optical network.
