A flow bonder at a CMTS and another at a cable modem distribute packets of a service flow over multiple channels and collect them in the downstream direction respectively; vice versa in the upstream direction. The service flow may include video and data streams that are provided to the CMTS via an IP network. IP header information is stripped form video packets and remultiplexed with packets of other video streams. The remultiplexed video stream packets are combined into a composite stream, which is transported using multiple bonded-flow RF channels over an HFC. A set top box receives the composite stream and separates data from video packets based on IP information. Video packets are assembled according to information from a multiple program transport stream table based on a program selected by a user.

Method and system for transforming video streams using a multi-channel flow-bonded traffic stream

A system for increasing bandwidth to a communication device, comprising: a packet scheduler; and a transmitter; the system configured to operate the packet scheduler to schedule packets of a service flow onto multiple media access control (MAC) channels forming a MAC channel group before operating the transmitter to send the scheduled packets from an origination device toward a destination device, the packet scheduler waiting a maximum group cross channel skew time for an out-of sequence packet, the maximum group cross channel skew time a maximum of multiple pair cross channel skew times, one pair cross channel skew time associated with each pair grouping of MAC channels configured to be formed from the MAC channel group; and the system configured with a setting to allow only a single channel of the multiple channels of the MAC channel group to carry DOCSIS messages, and to override the setting to share at least some of the channels of the MAC channel group among multiple cable modems while the MAC channel group forms a bonded channel.

Systems and methods can provide a gateway-based video client proxy subsystem for managing delivery of segmented video in a stateful system. Such systems can operating to provide segmented video streams client devices via customer premise gateway devices. The system can receive state information from the customer premise gateway devices for use in managing network resources associated transmitting with the segmented video streams, and deriving allocations of bandwidth to flows associated with the client devices based upon the state information received from the customer premise gateway devices.

A packet data flow processor applies a first level of Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) processing to packet flows that are not from trusted sources, and applies a second level of DOCSIS processing, simpler than the first level, to packet flows from the trusted sources.
