Bias-Free Language
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Solution Deployment
Design Considerations
This section helps you prepare for deploying the Cisco Remote-PHY solution.
Prerequisites
-
Ensure that a digital optical network is deployed between the Cisco GS7000 node and Cisco CMTS. The supported digital optical network is Metro Ethernet.
-
Ensure that the data path is guaranteed between the Cisco CMTS and the Cisco GS7000 node.
-
Reserve sufficient bandwidth for the DOCSIS traffic.
-
Network must support IPv4 multicast forwarding.
-
Ensure that the maximum latency is as low as possible.
-
Based on the input type in the network, deploy or use the appropriate type of R-PHY device. For optical input, deploy the Cisco GS7000 node with the FRx.
Network Architecture
The Cisco Remote-PHY solution supports the Single Controller Sharing architecture. In this architecture, multiple Cisco GS7000 equipments share the downstream and upstream channels of a Cisco RF line card in a cisco cBR chassis.
Network Topologies
The Cisco Remote-PHY solution supports Ethernet Based Networking topology.
