I haven't yet learned not to make weak jokes on mailing lists...
However you'd better watch out. DOCSIS-1.0 is an implementer's worst
nightmare. At best it provides a low-level physical layer spec. and the
rest of it is pretty much useless in prodcution. 2.0 solves some of the
problems, but introduces more.
My experience has been that DOCIS-1.0 is unusable, 1.1 works well. I
have no experience with 2.0. But then, I don't get out much...
[sorry! weak joke!]
