The intent of this specification is to support the deployment of general Multimedia services by providing a technical definition of several IP-based signaling interfaces that leverage core QoS and policy management capabilities native to DOCSIS Versions 1.1 and greater. Throughout this specification, the term DOCSIS will be used to refer to any DOCSIS version greater than or equal to 1.1. For the purposes of this specification, Multimedia services may be defined as IP-based services (e.g., online gaming, video-conferencing, streaming media, etc.) requiring QoS-based network resources (as contrasted with services such as web browsing, e-mail, instant messaging and file-sharing that are commonly provided using best-effort flows). While telephony or voice-based services are not specifically excluded from this definition, the IPCablecom-T set of specifications provide coverage specific to this type of service delivery, and, therefore, those specifications should be consulted as appropriate.
