Abstract: Approaches for processing packets transmitted within a Passive Optical Network (PON) using executable software. Processing packets within a PON may be performed by classifying one or more packets, of a plurality of received packets, to a particular PON system component, and then processing the one or more packets classified to the same PON system component on a single physical or virtual processor. The one or more packets may be forwarded between a sequence of one or more software stages. The software stages may each be configured to execute on separate logical cores or on a single logical core.

Abstract: A multi-tenant application that provides high speed data services to one or more subscriber devices. High speed data services may include one or more of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) services, software upgrade services, and Profile Management Application (PMA) services. The multi-tenant application comprises one or more first servers that each perform packet switching and routing and one or more second servers that each perform FCAPS functions for the one or more subscriber devices. FCAPS functions comprise fault operations, configuration operations, accounting operations, performance operations, and security operations. Second servers may be implemented entirely within an application-specific logical host composed of one or more application containers and may optionally each further perform network functions and user plane functions for the one or more subscriber devices.

Abstract: Approaches for performing all DOCSIS downstream and upstream data forwarding functions using executable software. DOCSIS data forwarding functions may be performed by classifying one or more packets, of a plurality of received packets, to a particular DOCSIS system component, and then processing the one or more packets classified to the same DOCSIS system component on a single CPU core. The one or more packets may be forwarded between a sequence of one or more software stages. The software stages may each be configured to execute on separate logical cores or on a single logical core.

Abstract: A virtualized Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) that provides high speed data services to one or more remote physical devices (RPDs). The CMTS comprises one or more first servers that each perform packet switching and routing as well as one or more second servers that each perform CMTS functions for the one or more remote physical devices (RPDs). Each of the one or more first servers and each of the one or more second servers are each implemented entirely on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware. Further, the CMTS functions comprise telemetry, displaying and supporting a dashboard that depicts historical events that occurred or ongoing events presently occurring at the virtualized CMTS, dynamic instantiation and deinstantiation of virtual machines in which software processes implementing the CMTS functions execute in proportion to demand at the virtual CMTS, logging, and analytics.
