configure interface cable-downstream * cable interleave-depth
Sets the minimum latency of the system.
configure interface cable-downstream <slot/port> cable interleave-depth <8 | 16 | 32 | 64 | 128>
interleave-increment <1>}
A higher interleave depth provides more protection from bursts of noise on the HFC network; however, higher depth also increases
downstream latency which might slow TCP/IP throughput for some configurations. Low interleave depth values typically cause some
packet loss on typical HFC networks because burst noise lasts beyond the error correction block (FEC) correctable length.
Parameters
The chassis slot in which the targeted downstream Cable Access Module resides. Valid range for the C4 CMTS is 0-15; valid range for
the C4c CMTS is 10-15.
Indicates the downstream interleave depth in taps. Valid values are different for DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS.
DOCSIS: 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128 taps
EuroDOCSIS: 12
Default is set at 32 taps
The interleave-increment is only available for interleave depth of 128.
