What is docsIf31CmtsUsOfdmaChanTxBackoffStart?

Reports the initial random transmission backoff window for this OFDMA upstream channel, expressed as a power of 2 (0-16); a value of 16 at the CMTS means a proprietary adaptive retry mechanism is used instead of the standard fixed exponential backoff. Admins can use this together with TxBackoffEnd to understand how aggressively modems on this channel are told to randomize retries after a collision, which affects contention performance under load.
