That’s what I was thinking, I'm not sure about the specifics of the implementation in question but the SSID may have a unique tunnel address(back to a wireless controller) which *could* be used to tag the flows with a specific SCN.

I imagine either the IP range used for public access or the SSID/VLAN/Interface of the wifi hotspot could be used in this instance. http://www.cmtsinfo.net/?howto=cm_config provides a good general overview of what's available and how to apply (see section 6 on classifiers). Of course, even if a dedicated service flow is used, this could still compete with the bandwidth available to the modem or to other modems served on the same node. I could envision this making network bandwidth management more difficult as customers roam, especially if they densely congregate. --Blake Frank Bulk wrote the following on 5/29/2014 10:27 PM: > Interesting, I may need to open a ticket with Moto to ask how that’s done. > > > > Frank > > > > From: Scott Helms [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2014 7:58 AM > To: Frank Bulk > Cc: Jay Ashworth; NANOG > Subject: Re: CMTS/Public Wifi provisioning question > > > > From talking to folks involved with http://www.cablewifi.com/ and > Comcast support there is a separate service flow for the public SSID. > I have yet to configure that in the lab, but it sounds like a good > project :) > > > > > > > Scott Helms > Vice President of Technology > ZCorum > (678) 507-5000 > -------------------------------- > http://twitter.com/kscotthelms > -------------------------------- > > > > On Thu, May 29, 2014 at 1:19 AM, Frank Bulk <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: > > It's my understanding that the public Wi-Fi uses the same data flow as the > subcriber's data flow.
