Each entry defines a set of configurable thresholds and parameters for each monitored scheduling service for an upstream channel. A set of thresholds applied by cable admission control in the process of monitoring upstream channel bandwidth. The following classes of upstream policies can be configured: 1. Global An entry with a ccacUsConfigRevIfIndex of '0' identifies a global policy. 2. Per Interface An entry with a ccacUsConfigRevIfIndex with an ifType of 'docsCableMaclayer' identifies an interface policy. Interface level thresholds supersedes global level thresholds. 3. Per Upstream Channel An entry with a ccacUsConfigRevIfIndex with an ifType of 'docsCableUpstream' identifies an upstream channel policy. Upstream level thresholds supersedes both global and interface level thresholds.
