This document provides an overview of gigabit internet services to the home and the evolution of access networks to support higher speeds. It discusses how technologies like DOCSIS 3.1 allow service providers to scale capacities to over 10 Gbps download speeds while maintaining backwards compatibility. The presentation notes challenges service providers face in meeting rising customer expectations and traffic demands, and how Cisco's solutions help simplify networks through software-defined networking and virtualization.

10. Why
DOCSIS
3.1?
* Goals
* Achieve
10+
Gbps
in
the
downstream
* Achieve
2+
Gbps
in
the
upstream
* Backwards
compatibility
with
DOCSIS
3.0,
2.0,
&
1.1
* Better
spectral
efficiency
(more
bits/
Hz)
* Technology
* OFDM,
OFDMA,
LDPC
* Expanded
downstream
and
upstream
spectrum
* Improved
energy
efficiency
* This
will
allow
DOCSIS
3.1
to
support
services
competitive
with
FTTH.
Deployable
in
today’s
HFC
networks!
