1. A method comprising:
monitoring, by a computing device, traffic loads on a plurality of channels that are used by a transceiver to communicate with a plurality of modem devices;
comparing, by the computing device, a traffic load on one of the plurality of channels with a channel migration threshold associated with the one of the plurality of channels;
comparing, by the computing device, a total traffic load on the plurality of channels with a total migration threshold associated with the plurality of channels;
migrating, by the computing device, data traffic from the one of the plurality of channels to one or more other channels of the plurality of channels based on the traffic load on the one of the plurality of channels being below the channel migration threshold and the total traffic load being below the total migration threshold, wherein different types of data traffic are migrated to different channels; and
redirecting, by the computing device and to the one or more other channels, future requests associated with the transceiver to communicate with the plurality of modem devices.
