Building data-over-cable networks (DOCN) provides highly functional and efficient infrastructure which enables supplying Internet or other information services to large numbers of customers which connect to network with cable modems. Contemporary DOCN may include millions of cable modems therefore the task of managing the network is rather complicated. To provide a proper control of DOCN a special set of hardware and software tools is used which may be referenced as a cable plant managing unit (CPMU).
