| Description | Specifies the nominal interval in microseconds
between successive unicast request
opportunities on an upstream service flow.
This object applies only to upstream service flows
with schedulingType of value
nonRealTimePollingService(3),
realTimePollingService(4), and
unsolictedGrantServiceWithAD(5). The parameter is
mandatory for realTimePollingService(4). If the
parameter is omitted with
nonRealTimePollingService(3), the CMTS uses an
implementation dependent value. If the parameter
is omitted with unsolictedGrantServiceWithAD(5),
the CMTS uses as a default value the value of the
Nominal Grant Interval parameter. In all cases,
the CMTS reports the value it is using when the
parameter is applicable. The CM reports the
signaled parameter value if it was signaled,
and 0 otherwise.
If the referenced parameter is not applicable to
the direction or scheduling type of the
corresponding DOCSIS QOS Parameter Set, both
CMTS and CM report this object's value as 0. |
