Some scripts to measure current utilization of DOCSIS downstream channels
These scripts are heavily inspired by the collective work of some people at the "Inoffizielles Vodafone-Kabel-Forum"

The RRD is tuned to collect new data points every 10 minutes. To start measure, attach a DVB-C compatible USB-Stick to your linux box and initialize the database files with
./create-rrds.sh
Start collecting data by adding the following line to your crontab:
*/10 * * * * /path/to/file/freq_collect.sh
You can generate the graph by executing the final script:
./gen-graphs.sh
