+Overview:
+=========
+The dissectors provided by this plugin allow the dissection of DOCSIS 1.1
+Frames. Captures of DOCSIS 1.1 frames can be facilitated using Cisco's
+Cable Monitor Features found on Cicso UBR7200 and UBR10000 Series Cable Modem
+Termination Systems. Captures of DOCSIS 1.1 and DOCSIS 2.0 frames can be
+facilitated using the ARRIS Cadant C4 and the ARRIS Cadant C3.
+
+
