20 Claims

1. A method, comprising:

transmitting, to first network equipment, a performance indicator value related to a second network equipment connected to a hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) network;

receiving, from the first network equipment, information related to an operating parameter related to the second network equipment, the information related to the operating parameter having been determined based on the performance indicator value; and

adjusting the operating parameter based on the information related to the operating parameter, wherein the operating parameter represents a controllable transmission characteristic related to a communication with the second network equipment.
