Claim 0:
1. A server device for use with a cable modem, a router, a user, a client device, and a cable modem termination system (“CMTS”), the router being configured to provide to the cable modem a first set of data packets for a non-negative integer number n applications and to provide a second set of data packets for a non-negative integer number m applications, the n applications requiring respective data traffic of a first quality of service (“QoS”), the m applications requiring respective data traffic of a second QoS, the second QoS being higher than the first QoS, the cable modem and the router being able to be configured in a link aggregation group (LAG) configuration, the client device being associated with the user, at least one of the client device and the cable modem being configured to provide a notification to the user to configure the cable modem and the router into the LAG configuration, the CMTS being configured to provide a first service flow to the cable modem and to provide a second service flow to the cable modem, the first service flow being associated with the first QoS, the second service flow being associated with the second QoS, said server device comprising:
a memory; and
a processor configured to execute instructions stored on said memory to cause said server device to:
monitor the second set of data packets; and
automatically transmit a LAG notification to the at least one of the client device and the cable modem when the second set of data packets meets a predetermined threshold, the LAG notification instructing the at least one of the client device and the cable modem to provide the notification to the user to configure the cable modem and the router into the LAG configuration.
