Description: A table of CMTS operation entries to instruct cable modems to move to a new downstream and/or upstream channel.

An entry in this table is an operation that has been initiated from CMTS to generates downstream frequency and/or upstream channel override fields in the RNG-RSP message sent to a cable modem. A RNG-RSP message is sent to a cable modem during initial maintenance opportunity.

This operation causes the uBR to place an entry for the cable modem specified into the override request queue. The link is then broken by deleting the modem from its polling list. When the modem attempts initial ranging, the override request causes downstream frequency and upstream channel override fields to be inserted into the RNG-RSP message.
