Description: Manages DOCSIS 3.0 Quality of Service objects including service flows, classifiers, and scheduling parameters.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is DOCS-QOS3-MIB?

DOCS-QOS3-MIB is a CableLabs (DOCSIS) standards MIB defining the Quality of Service objects for DOCSIS 3.0 and 3.1 cable modem/CMTS systems, particularly for managing QoS across bonded channel groups. It exposes packet classifier configuration (matching on IP TOS, protocol, source/destination address), service-flow scheduling, and overall QoS system state for cable modems. While primarily configuration/QoS-oriented, it also supports monitoring software-level status through objects like docsQosCmSystemCfgState, which indicates whether a cable modem's provisioned QoS configuration has been successfully applied. There is no single DOCS-QOS3-MIB RFC; rather the module is published directly by CableLabs as part of the DOCSIS specifications and builds directly on earlier DOCSIS QoS MIBs, depending on the broader DOCSIS/DOCS-IF-MIB framework for interface and channel context. It is deployed on DOCSIS cable modems (CM) and Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTS) in cable broadband access networks.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DOCS-QOS3-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • DOCSIS cable modems
  • Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTS)

Monitoring Examples

An operator polling docsQosPktClassTable/docsQosPktClassEntry indexed by docsQosPktClassId can inspect docsQosPktClassDirection, docsQosPktClassPriority, and IP-based match criteria (docsQosPktClassIpSourceAddr, docsQosPktClassIpDestAddr) to verify a classifier is correctly steering traffic such as voice packets into a priority service flow. Checking docsQosCmSystemCfgState reveals whether a cable modem successfully applied its QoS configuration after a reboot or reprovisioning event, with a failed state indicating a service-impacting misconfiguration.

What Can Be Monitored

  • packet classifier rules
  • classifier priority and direction
  • IP-based traffic matching criteria
  • cable modem QoS configuration state
