This read-only DocsisVersion value, found in a CMTS-side status table that augments the standard per-cable-modem status entry, indicates whether a specific connected cable modem registered with the CMTS as DOCSIS 1.0 or 1.1. An administrator managing a CMTS headend would poll this per-modem value to audit which DOCSIS version each subscriber's modem is actually using, useful for planning upgrades or diagnosing modems that fail to register at the expected higher version. For example, if a particular cable modem's entry in this table reports docsis10(1), the operator would know that specific subscriber's modem registered at the older DOCSIS 1.0 level rather than 1.1.
