The economics of cloud CMTS
Benefits of virtualizing your headend with Cisco’s Cloud Native Broadband Router(cnBR)
NETWORK SCALE
Subscribers per headend i This figure is the estimated number of DOCSIS subscribers per Data Center, Headend or Hub area. The total number of subscribers is used to calculate the total RPD’s per service area.
Subscribers per RPD i This figure is the estimated number of subscribers per Remote PHY device (RPD). The subscribers per RPD is also used to calculate the total RPD’s per service area.
Average DOCSIS devices per subscriber i This figure is the estimated number of DOCSIS devices within a subscribers home. The devices per home includes Cable Modems (CM’s) as well as DOCSIS Set-top Gateways (DSG’s). This figure is used to calculate the total number of DOCSIS devices supported per Cloud Native server.
Downstream Bandwidth per RPD (Gbps) i Downstream Bandwidth per RPD. The upper limit maximum is set to 9.0 Gbps and lower limit is set to 0.3 Gbps.
Upstream Bandwidth per RPD (Gbps) i Upstream Bandwidth per RPD. The upper limit maximum is set to 6 Gbps and lower limit is set to 0.05 Gbps.
Over subscription factor (n:1) i This figure is the ratio that the Data Plane bandwidth (DP) per server is over-subscribed relative to the provisioned bandwidth per RPD. An oversubscription factor of 1.0 (1:1 ratio) equates to no over-subscription.

Please reduce subscribers per RPD and/or DOCSIS devices per subscriber to remove error
