See full text

A cable modem device may include a plurality of cable modem termination system demodulators, a switching element and a plurality of cable termination system modem ports. The cable modem may receive signals from one of a plurality of downstream cable modems at one of the plurality of cable modem termination system ports and dynamically assign one of the plurality of cable modem termination system demodulators to one of the plurality of cable modem termination system ports. The signals received from the one of the plurality of downstream cable modems may be demodulated by the assigned one of the plurality of cable modem termination system demodulators. The assigned one of the plurality of cable modem termination system demodulators may be communicatively coupled to one of the plurality of cable modem termination system ports by the switching element. The switching element is operable to dynamically couple any one of the plurality of cable modem termination system demodulators to anyone of the plurality of cable modem termination system ports.
