A system, in one embodiment, includes a cable modem termination system configured to perform at least the following processing: determining a first quantity related to uncorrectable erroneous codewords and a second quantity related to other codewords except the erroneous codewords in the data packet received by the cable modem termination system from the terminal device via the channel; calculating a first metric relating the first quantity to the second quantity; and in response to the first metric exceeding a first threshold for a first predetermined time, determining the channel as a damaged channel.

Cable modem termination system

The present disclosure relates to a method, a medium, a program product, and a modem for setting modulation modes. The method includes detecting by a modem whether a modulation mode of the modem is inverted, the modem being capable of operating in a plurality of modulation modes, and each modulation mode having a different modulation order; and in response to the determination that the number of times of inversion of the modulation mode within a first predetermined time has reached a threshold, setting by the modem the modulation mode of the modem to a modulation mode other than a modulation mode with the highest modulation order in all modulation modes included in the inversion process and maintaining the set modulation mode for a second predetermined time. By the above method, the modulation mode is prevented from repeatedly inverting, thereby maintaining the downstream data throughput at a high level.
