SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INCREASING FLEXIBILITY AND HIGH AVAILABILITY IN REMOTE NETWORK DEVICES

摘要

A network node is provided for use with a broadband data provider facility, and the first and second subscriber groups, the broadband data provider facility being operable to provide first and second service group provider data. The network node includes a network access device and a downstream configuration component. The network access device converts the first and second service group provider data into first and second service group network access data, respectively. The downstream configuration component receives a configuration instruction, the first and second service group network access data and, based on the configuration instruction, provides the first service group network access data to the first subscriber group and the second service group network access data to the second subscriber group. The downstream configuration component further receives a second configuration instruction and, based on the second configuration instruction, provides the first service group network access data to the first and second subscriber groups.
