1. A method comprising:
assigning each of a plurality of cable modems to its own cluster; and
incrementally reducing the number of clusters by sequentially combining two of said number of clusters until the number of clusters is reduced to a desired number of clusters;
determining a set of bitloading profiles using the desired number of clusters;
allocating the bitloading profiles among the plurality of cable modems; and
communicating with the plurality of cable modems using the allocated bitloading profiles.
