Non-Hub Straddling
Non-hub straddling includes the configuration of the CMTS when the CMTS'
downstream message traffic is entirely contained within a single hub. When the
CMTS message traffic is isolated in this manner, the resulting message traffic is
defined as "non-hub straddling" (from a client set-top perspective). When the set-top
tunes to receive downstream message traffic, it receives messages that were
generated only for the given hub in which the set-top resides. The scenarios in
Example: Non-Hub Straddling (on page 11) address a CMTS in which message traffic
is categorized as non-hub straddling.

It is strongly recommended that the service provider prevent DBDS multicast
traffic from flowing to the home network by applying MIB filters to stand-alone
cable modems. These filters are defined in the DOCSIS Cable Device MIB Cable
Device Management Information Base for DOCSIS compliant Cable Modems and Cable
Modem Termination Systems, RFC 2669, August 1999.
