Here the basic operation at the physicallayer and the Media Access Control layer were described along with the functionality ofthe contention resolution algorithms adopted.The definition of the MAC layer was important, since spectrum of cable networksavailable for upstream transmissions from subscribers to the headend is scare. As a finalremark, the DVB/DAVIC protocol fits optimally into a cable environment and providesan integrated solution for full-interactive service provision.3-13
