SDN (software defined network), yeah I'm playing with that in a non-DOCSIS system. Though your virtualization does sound a bit different than mine (virtualized when ordered). Hmm, so they're advertising a system they can't deliver? Great :-/ The card arrived so I'll see what I can get to do a test. Not sure what my friends have that can really test bandwidth.

You can’t virtualize a plant, what the DOCSIS people mean by virtualization is moving much of the DOCSIS software off of dedicated platforms to a generic cloud based platform - this in itself doesn’t affect performance of the phy/mac layers, in fact, it makes it slightly harder to achieve good upstream speeds because of added round trip latency (requests for bandwidth take slightly longer to be fufilled).
enough about current technology - back to the vintage world - far fewer headaches :)
“To do this, the team activated what we believe to be another world first – a virtualized cable modem termination system (vCMTS) powered by Full Duplex DOCSIS 4.0 Technology."
The virtualization of the CMTS plant infra is going to allow these speeds (for customers that choose and pay for that tier). Yes, it's going to cost, and maybe you are good with 1Gb! But some people will want more. 10G is just showing the max bandwidth - I doubt there will be a plan for 10Gb available for a while. I am asking for a slot in any employee trials lol...
