Abstract
A method includes dividing, at a cable modem termination system, a transmit stream into multiple data streams. The multiple data streams include a first data stream and a second data stream. Each of the multiple data streams has a lower bit rate than a bit rate of the transmit stream. The method includes transmitting, via the cable modem termination system, the first data stream over at least a first channel of a group of channels. The method also includes transmitting, via the cable modem termination system, the second data stream over at least a second channel of the group of channels. The group of channels supports traffic to a plurality of destinations. The first channel and the second channel are frequency-division multiplexed channels.
