What is CDLP?
Motorola’s CDLP technology was chosen by Telstra to run their Big Pond Cable service back in 1997, before the DOCSIS standard existed. It is no longer in use. Telstra ran its current DOCSIS network side-by-side with the older CDLP system for some time. CDLP does not allow for load balancing in the same way DOCSIS does for its routers. In recent times, poor management has caused the CDLP routers to be unbalanced, resulting in failures and poor performance in some areas.
