I strongly recommend you spend some quality time with the DOCSIS spec... Personally, I think DSL and wireless modems would benefit from using DOCSIS. I have not thought hard about this issue and am interested in other opinions...
You do learn fast! ;-) However you'd better watch out. DOCSIS-1.0 is an implementer's worst nightmare. At best it provides a low-level physical layer spec. and the rest of it is pretty much useless in prodcution. 2.0 solves some of the problems, but introduces more. -- Greg A.
