Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure provide application layer, Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, and physical (PHY) layer functionality by discrete devices, to form a distributed MAC/PHY architecture for communications networks. An application layer (layer-3) device can communicate with a MAC layer (layer-2) device. The layer-2 device may switch IP layer (layer-3) information to MAC layer information. Further the layer-2 device can use addressing information determined or received from the layer-3 device to choose a particular PHY layer (layer-1) device. The layer-2 device can instruct the layer-1 device, to modulate information on one or more frequencies and/or wavelengths over a given physical medium. In an embodiment, the various communications between the devices can occur using a downstream external PHY interface (DEPI) protocol and an upstream external PHY interface (UEPI) protocol. In an embodiment, the monitoring of the devices can be performed using a management plane generic control plane (GCP) protocol.

Claim (Index 18):
The non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 12 , wherein the first parameters comprise at least one of a modulation frequency and a demodulation frequency.
