Abstract: A method for providing video to a customer premises equipment, the method includes: receiving, by a radio frequency interface of a cable modem, radio frequency signals; receiving by a data tuner out of multiple tuners of the cable modem, radio frequency signals that convey data; detecting, by a monitor of the cable modem, a request to receive a certain video channel that is being broadcasted; wherein the request is sent to the cable modem from a customer premises equipment; tuning a certain tuner out of multiple tuners of the cable modem, in response to a mapping between radio frequencies and video channels, to receive the certain video channel; filtering out data layer encapsulation information that encapsulates certain video channel information; and transmitting certain video channel information to the customer premises equipment.

Abstract: A method for bypassing a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS), the method includes: receiving, by a session manager, an encrypted Security Association Identifier (SAID) and an encrypted Traffic Encryption Key (TEK) that are associated with unicast transmission from the CMTS to a cable modem. The encrypted SAID and the encrypted TEK are upstream transmitted from the cable modem. Providing to an edge device, over a secured link a representation of the SAID and a representation of the TEK. Receiving by the edge device information that is associated with the SAID and should be downstream transmitted to the cable modem. Encrypting, by the edge device, the information by the TEK to provide encrypted information. Transmitting, by the edge device, the encrypted information to the cable modem while bypassing the CMTS.
