Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) defines the interface standards for cable modems and supporting equipment involved in high speed data transfer and distribution over cable television system networks. It permits additional high-speed data transfer over an existing cable TV system and is widely used by television operators to offer Internet access through an already existing hybrid fiber coaxial infrastructure. Other devices that recognize and support DOCSIS include HDTV's and Web-enabled set-top boxes for televisions. In other words, the same cable that brings you CSI can also allow you to send email and receive Internet news.
CableLabs developed DOCSIS and this technology has been approved as a standard for cable modems by ITU.
