A gateway may include a processing device. The processing device may: receive, at the gateway, data using a data over cable service interface specification (DOCSIS) protocol in which the data is received using a first quality of service (QoS) operation; identify, at the gateway, the first QoS operation for the DOCSIS protocol; determine, at the gateway, a second QoS operation for a wireless local area network (WLAN) protocol; and send, from the gateway to a station (STA), the data using the WLAN protocol in which the data is sent using the second QoS operation.

Systems and methods for guaranteeing end-to-end QoS for wireless connections over a cable network are disclosed. Provisioning of on-demand guaranteed bandwidth connection over a cable network uses mechanisms from DOCSIS domain and Wi-Fi domain. A multi-domain orchestrator is implemented to control both domains. A bandwidth request is received from a client device connecting to a network service provider access point. The bandwidth request is updated for both domains with results of speed test of the wireless link if the speed test results are lower than the bandwidth request. The orchestrator and client device negotiate the bandwidth request using a three-way handshake over PacketCable Multimedia (PCMM) protocol. If the available bandwidth on either the DOCSIS or wireless link is less than the bandwidth request, the orchestrator generates a new bandwidth offer. If the client device accepts the offer, the orchestrator configures the DOCSIS and wireless links using their respective domain protocols to provision the connection with guaranteed end-to-end bandwidth.

Enhanced parallelism in DOCSIS filter group and Service Flow processing. A plurality of packets that have been transmitted across a computer network are received. A responsive action to be performed against each of the plurality of packets is determined by performing DOCSIS filter group processing on the plurality of packets using a single unified Filter Group table. The single unified Filter Group table comprises a plurality of rules that each define a set of criteria and a particular responsive action to perform against any packet matching the set of criteria for that rule. The plurality of rules in the single unified Filter Group table identify, in their sets of criteria, different Filter Group identifiers (IDs). Thereafter, the responsive action is performed on each of the plurality of packets. A single unified classifier table may also be used to assign a Service Flow to packets with enhanced parallelism.

Selective adjustment of power amplifier bias and spectrum utilization in a broadband network. A CCAP core determines that a set of DOCSIS channels presently operational in the broadband network should be adjusted, either by consulting a schedule of peak-usage or by measuring of a current capacity utilization of the DOCSIS channels presently operational in the broadband network.
