This learning path examines the key technologies shaping today's cable broadband networks. It covers the basics of DOCSIS infrastructure and RF spectrum splits, then dives into how things are evolving with virtual CMTS (vCMTS) and Distributed Access Architecture (DAA), and covers the basics of Precision Time Protocol (PTP). It all wraps up with a hands-on lab showcasing a vCMTS deployment on Red Hat OpenShift.
