Abstract

In one embodiment, a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) identifies an endpoint originating undesired traffic. Instead of dropping a bandwidth request for the identified endpoint by not responding, the CMTS responds to such a request by sending a data grant pending message. The data grant pending message causes a cable modem for the identified endpoint to enter a waiting state, which prevents further bandwidth requests for the identified endpoint.
