NCS Signaling MIB SC Objects

We (Motorola CMTS) agree with Clabs' interpretation. Setting up a service flow for NCS signaling with SCN names is a DOCSIS authorization concern. How a CMTS authorizes DOCSIS based DSX requests is a policy decision based on configuarion at the CMTS.  

To echo Rich, it should be much more clearly specified in the DQOS specs that the CMTSs have to implement configuration parameters in order to permit/deny these types of DSAs/DSCs. In other words, it should be an operator decision to enable DSAs and DSCs without a PacketCable authorization block -- not a vendor implementation decision.
