DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM:
The majority of DOCSIS 3.1 PNM functions are already "naturally" supported by the R-PHY data plane
protocols. There are however two functions, which are distributed in nature and require additional control
plane instrumentation for exchange of data between the CCAP Core and the RPD. These are Downstream
Symbol Capture and Upstream Histogram. This EC introduces the specification text describing
Downstream Symbol Capture and Upstream Histogram functions in the R-PHY architecture. A separate EC will
provide TLV encoding of GCP attributes referred to in this EC.
This EC was prepared primarily by Shaun Yu.
