Configuring Payload Header Suppression and Restoration
Payload Header Suppression (PHS) is a new feature in the DOCSIS1.1 MAC driver. The PHS feature is
used to suppress repetitive or redundant portions in packet headers before transmission on the DOCSIS
link. The upstream receive driver is now capable of restoring headers suppressed by CMs, and the
downstream driver is capable of suppressing specific fields in the packet header before forwarding the
frame to the CM.
Command
show interface cable x/0/0
service-flow [sfid] phs
debug cable error
debug cable phs
OL-1520-05
Purpose
Specifies a MAC address on the cable network for which
interception capabilities are to be activated. There is a
limit of 10 MAC addresses.
Disables interception after it is enabled.
Purpose
Displays cable interface information.
Displays errors that occur in the cable MAC protocols. To disable
debugging output, use the no form of the command.
Displays the activities of the PHS and restoration driver. The no
form of this command disables debugging output.
