Abstract :
Various types of business services represent one of the most rapidly growing segment of offerings of MSOs and have long been one of the major drivers for new technology and automation in network configuration and service provisioning. The mechanism described in this article takes the provisioning automation one step further, addressing the need for incremental upgrades to already deployed demarcation devices, to be prepared for operation within the DPoE Network.
