Abstract
A wideband cable network system includes multiple wideband cable modems and a Wideband Cable Modem Termination System (WCMTS). The WCMTS operates a Media Access Control (MAC) layer that communicates with the cable modems over multiple different downstream Radio Frequency (RF) channels and upstream RF channels. A wideband failure analytic manager tracks fault indicators associated with the MAC layer communications. Separate failure analytics are then generated, indexed, and correlated for different cable modems and different upstream or downstream channels.
