By John Schlack Distinguished Architect Comcast Cable Kelin Kruithoff Sr. Manager, Product Management Comcast Cable

This paper examines the usage of the original automated pre-vetting process, feedback from users, features that provided the most impact, and how the automated pre-vetting process has evolved and added more capabilities. The evolution takes an in-depth look at differences in the automated pre-vetting process for the integrated cable modem termination system (iCMTS) and virtualized cable modem termination system (vCMTS) and the benefits of including telemetry data. Details of the output of the enhanced automated pre-vetting process are included such as layered plant maps, device plots, and utilization data.
