Abstract

Broadband Access Systems, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate its Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch, a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS), in conjunction with several hundred CDMs from Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. Tests were conducted for zero-loss, steady-state, asymmetric throughput with full-duplex traffic using 64 bytes for maximum packet processing, 108 bytes for packet telephony and 64 bytes upstream/1,518 bytes downstream and 200 bytes upstream and 1,518 bytes downstream to test common IP traffic. Furthermore, engineers tested 108- and 200-byte packets to test the capability of the Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch when forwarding packet sizes commonly found in packetized voice solutions
