Patent Images
1. A method for achieving load balance of a modem corresponding to a terminal in a network, comprising:
- selecting upstream channel descriptors (UCDs) in the network;
checking the terminal for history of a usable UCD therein;
determining a prior range of the UCDs according to the result;
selecting the UCDs in the prior range and checking upstream channels corresponding thereto; and
marking the UCDs corresponding to unusable upstream channel as unusable, and storing the UCDs corresponding to usable upstream channels as new proven-usable records in the terminal.

Abstract
A method for achieving load balance of a modem (21) corresponding to a terminal (20) in a network (100) comprises selecting upstream channel descriptors (UCDs) in the network, checking the terminal for any proven-usable UCD records, determining a prior range of the UCDs according to the checking result, selecting the UCDs in the prior range and checking upstream channels corresponding thereto, and marking the unusable UCDs and storing the UCDs corresponding to usable upstream channel as new proven-usable records in the terminal.
