cable upstream minislot-size
To specify the minislot size (in ticks) for a specific upstream interface, use the
cable upstream minislot-
size
command in cable interface configuration mode. To reset the minislot size to the default for the
current channel width setting, use the
no
form of this command.

Syntax Description
Defaults
The default settings vary, depending on the upstream’s channel width. The default values were changed
in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BC1 and later releases to better optimize data and voice traffic on the
upstream.
Table 2-12 on page 2-330
lists the default minislot values for each channel width for
Cisco IOS releases before and after Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)BC1.
