In this paper we explore an approach for bandwidth allocation for the centralized MAC protocol employed by DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) compliant cable networks. The proposed approach is based on the statistics of the source traffic models. It aims at achieving low excess bandwidth while still offering delays that are acceptable from the applications QoS requirements...
