scope:

The present document provides the ETSI endorsement of ANSI/SCTE standard ANSI/SCTE 262-4 [1].

ANSI/SCTE 262-4 is part of a series of standards that defines the sixth generation of high-speed data-over-cable systems and is based on a set of specifications commonly referred to as DOCSIS 4.0 specifications. This generation of the DOCSIS specifications builds upon the previous generations of DOCSIS specifications (commonly referred to as the DOCSIS 3.1 and earlier specifications), leveraging the existing Media Access Control (MAC) and Physical (PHY) layers with the addition of appropriate updates to the MAC and management layer to support new PHY functionality. It includes backward compatibility for the existing PHY layers in order to enable a seamless migration to the new technology.

ANSI/SCTE 262-4 [1] defines the requirements necessary for the configuration, fault management and performance management of Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTS) and the Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) system. The intent of the standard is to define a common, cross-vendor set of functionality for the configuration and management of CMTSs and CCAPs.

The present document defines a standard configuration information model for the configuration of the CCAP. The present document also defines the SNMP management requirements for a CCAP. These SNMP requirements include both protocol conformance and management object definitions, based largely upon existing industry standard management objects found in DOCSIS CMTSs and universal EQAMs. In addition, The present document defines the standard event messaging requirements of a CCAP system.

ANSI/SCTE 262-4 [1] corresponds to the CableLabs specification CM-SP-CCAP-OSSIv4.0-I02-200311 [i.1].
