Abstract

Approaches for a virtualized Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) for providing high speed data services to a remote physical device (RPD). The virtualized Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) comprises a core routing engine (CRE) for performing packet switching and routing and one or more physical or virtual compute servers (CS) that each perform CMTS functions for the one or more remote physical devices (RPDs). Ethernet links are established between the core routing engine (CRE) and the one or more physical or virtual core servers (CSs), wherein one or more of: (a) a Virtual LAN (VLAN) and (b) a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Transport Stream tunnel are employed on the Ethernet links, and wherein the VLAN or the MPLS tunnel encapsulates traffic for IP hosts within a single CMTS cable bundle.
