Description: This table contains the status of the cable modems that are polled by the CMTS CM Poller. The information will be overwritten when a new polling cycle starts.

The removal of CM from the list or adding a new CM to the list won't be reflected until the next polling cycle.

Depending on how many CMs that the poller is polling, polling this table constantly can be quite expensive; Therefore, it is best to poll upon receipt of the cdrqCmtsCmRQDoneNotification. As a hedge against lost notifications, periodic background polling should be performed. Howerver, excessive polling could degrade performance.
