Virtual converged cable access platform (CCAP) core
First Claim
1. One or more non-transitory machine-readable storage mediums storing one or more sequences of instructions for a virtualized Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS), which when executed by one or more processors, cause:
- said virtualized Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) providing high speed data services to one or more remote physical devices (RPDs), wherein said virtualized Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) comprises;
a core routing engine (CRE) performing packet switching and routing; and
one or more core servers (CSs) that each perform CMTS functions for said one or more remote physical devices (RPDs),wherein said core routing engine (CRE) and said one or more core servers (CSs) are each implemented entirely on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware.

Abstract
Approaches for a virtualized Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) for providing high speed data services to a remote physical device (RPD). The virtualized Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) comprises a core routing engine (CRE) for performing packet switching and routing and one or more core servers (CS) that each perform CMTS functions for the one or more remote physical devices (RPDs). The core routing engine may comprise one or more core routing engine members. The core routing engine (CRE) and the one or more core servers (CS) are each implemented entirely on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware.
