• Voice, Video, and Data, all sharing a common infrastructure…<strong>Network</strong> Convergence.• Less stranded capacity since spectrum, equipment, power, space,and infrastructure are all shared across all services to allcustomers.• With all IP comes mobility… any media, any content, any place,any time.• With all IP comes open standards and feature velocity… moresuppliers providing feature rich solutions.• With all IP comes incredible bandwidth (spectrum) efficiency.© <strong>2011</strong> <strong>Cisco</strong> and/or its affiliates.

• <strong>Scenario</strong> for managing downstream bandwidth,legacy video, IP video, and HSD.• Bandwidth model assumptions:• 400 HHP Node• IP video grows to 50% penetration, 5 tuners per home• HSD grows from 32% to 50% penetration• HSD rates grow at 40% CAGR (Compounded annual growth rate)• Pending upstream bandwidth issues, oneestimate on when.• Bandwidth model assumptions:• HSD penetration grows from 32% to 50%• HSD rates grow at 40% CAGR• Dialogue… what to do?© <strong>2011</strong> <strong>Cisco</strong> and/or its affiliates.

• This is a typical North American HFC evolution for a 750 MHzplant from today through <strong>2020</strong>.• This analysis assumes HSD growth at 40% per year CAGR.• Service group starts a 920 Homes (two nodes at 460 HHP each)• IP Video Service grows to 50% penetration and 8 tuners perhome by the year <strong>2020</strong>.• This analysis seeks the lowest cost of ownership to account forthe growth described above…© <strong>2011</strong> <strong>Cisco</strong> and/or its affiliates.

• Utilization of HFC and DOCSIS tools provides a mechanism forefficient network scalabilty§ Analog channel reclamation§ Node segmention to the 128 hhp level§ Modest VBR encoding efficency§ Multicast gain that varies based on service group reduction• Node segmentation is driven primarily by the need for additionalupstream spectrum§ Creates an abundance of downstream spectrum• IP acknowledgments can burden the upstream spectrum due tohigh levels of video penetration or large service groups§ Primarily a function of unicast video traffic© <strong>2011</strong> <strong>Cisco</strong> and/or its affiliates.

• At some point… linear video will disappear. The next step will bedigital broadcast reclamation and move embedded basecustomers to IP Video.§ In this analysis there are 54 out of 110 Channels tied up in broadcast. (50%)§ Some or all of those broadcast channels can be eliminated by moving all thecustomers to IP video.• This analysis supports 1 Gbps downstream peak data ratecapability starting in 2015… at some point 1 Gbps upstream peakdata rate will be required.§ No timing is assumed or represented on that subject in this analysis.© <strong>2011</strong> <strong>Cisco</strong> and/or its affiliates.
