Abstract
The present invention provides a facility management platform to monitor and view the status of a plurality of individually addressable downstream devices including, but not limited to, addressable terminals, IRG's, settops, cable modems, taps, nodes, and/or hubs at a network control center. The FMP may display problems at these downstream devices, for example, power loss, and/or may automatically notify the appropriate companies and/or personnel to correct the problem.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a memory that stores instructions;
- a processor that executes the instructions to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving signaling data over a multiple access link at a network interface;
- transmitting the signaling data over a network in response to a called number in the signaling data;
- allocating a channel in the multiple access link at the network interface to communicate first user data over the multiple access link, wherein the first user data is associated with the signaling data, and wherein the first user data includes low latency data that has a higher priority than other data in the first user data;
- reallocating bandwidth of the channel to second user data after communicating the first user data;
- and
- updating, while the bandwidth of the channel is being reallocated, a header associated with the channel to indicate within the header that the bandwidth of the channel has been reallocated to the second user data and no longer to the first user data.

A method, comprising:
- obtaining signaling data over a multiple access link at a network interface;
- transmitting the signaling data over a network in response to a called number in the signaling data;
- selecting a channel in the multiple access link at the network interface to communicate first user data over the multiple access link, wherein the first user data is associated with the signaling data, and wherein the first user data includes low latency data that has a higher priority than other data in the first user data;
- reallocating bandwidth of the channel to second user data after communicating the first user data;
- and
- updating, by utilizing instructions from a memory that are executed by a processor and while the bandwidth of the channel is being reallocated, a header associated with the channel to indicate within the header that the bandwidth of the channel has been reallocated to the second user data and no longer to the first user data.
