Abstract
In one embodiment, label distribution sessions are established between a Modular Cable Modem Termination System (M-CMTS) core and one or more remote PHYs. The label distribution sessions facilitate association of labels with either Radio Frequency (RF) channels or groups of the RF channels that extend from the remote PHYs to one or more cable modems. The labels are then used to facilitate communications between the M-CMTS core and the remote PHYs over a MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) network.
