Module: DOCS-QOS3-MIB

OID (symbolic): DOCS-QOS3-MIB::docsQosParamSetMaxTimeInSidCluster

Description: This attribute specifies the maximum time in milliseconds that a CM may use a particular SID Cluster before it must switch to a different SID Cluster to make further requests. A value of 0 indicates there is no limit.

This attribute only applies to upstream Service Flows in 3.0 operation, in other cases it is reported as 0. If the referenced parameter is not present in the DOCSIS QOS Parameter Set, this attribute returns 0.

This attribute has been deprecated and replaced with docsQosServiceFlowMaxTimeInSidCluster in the docsQosServiceFlowTable.

What is docsQosParamSetMaxTimeInSidCluster?

This OID holds a timeout value (in milliseconds) limiting how long a cable modem can use the same SID (Service ID) cluster before switching to a different one for upstream requests in DOCSIS 3.0. Setting it controls load balancing across upstream channels to prevent any single channel from getting saturated. A cable operator would increase this if modems are switching channels too frequently (causing packet loss) or decrease it if one channel is overloaded.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4491.2.1.21.1.2.1.36
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DOCS-QOS3-MIB::docsQosParamSetMaxTimeInSidCluster

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4491.2.1.21.1.2.1.36.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DOCS-QOS3-MIB::docsQosParamSetMaxTimeInSidCluster.1
