DOCSIS 3.1 is a technology that helps internet service providers make their networks faster and more efficient. In the past, providers had to decide whether to spend a lot of money to completely upgrade their network or make small improvements to their existing network. With DOCSIS 3.1, providers can make significant improvements to their network without spending as much money to upgrade the physical network.
This means that providers can make their networks 35% more efficient with only a few upgrades to the physical network. This makes the network faster and can handle more data at the same time, which is good news for customers who want a faster and more reliable internet connection.
However, providers need to be careful when they deploy and test DOCSIS 3.1. If they don't do it correctly, the network may not perform any better than it did with the previous technology, DOCSIS 3.0. But if providers follow the best practices outlined in this paper, they can ensure that DOCSIS 3.1 is working at its best, which will reduce the number of technicians that need to go out to fix problems, and provide a better experience for customers.
