Abstract
Nowadays there is a lot of interest in how to utilize the huge data capacity of existing cable television networks for providing a range of new services. In this report we will briefly look at what kinds of new services need to be provided and then go on to describe a network architecture that can facilitate their quick deployment with low initial infrastructure costs, while providing enough flexibility to adapt to future changes to both capacity requirements and network infrastructure.
