ANSI/SCTE 79-3 2011

This standard is an extension to the DOCSIS 2.0 family of specifications, which define high-speed data-over-cable systems. For an overview of DOCSIS 2.0, refer to ANSI/SCTE 79-1. That standard requires the CM to support IP version 4 for provisioning and management. This standard provides IPv6 provisioning and management functionality for DOCSIS 2.0 CMs, connected IPv6 eSAFEs, and external CPE devices. The term DOCSIS 2.0 IPv6 CM is used to represent such Cable Modems.
