* A PacketCable Multimedia Gate is a logical representation of a policy * decision that has been installed on the CMTS. A Gate is used to control * access by a single IP flow to enhanced QoS Services provided by a DOCSIS * cable network. Gates are unidirectional; a single Gate controls access to a * flow in either the upstream or the downstream direction, but not both. For a * bi-directional IP session, two Gates are required, one for upstream and one * for downstream, each identified by a unique GateID. It is important to * recognize that this is a fundamental difference from PacketCable 1.x, in * which a single GateID may reference both an upstream and a downstream Gate. *
