A 1-byte unsigned integer specifying the use of sequencing numbers in downstream service flows to allow the cable modem to re-order out of sequence packets. The cable modem will hold higher numbered packets while waiting for lower numbered packets to arrive. Note: Applications that can tolerate lost packets or applications that cannot tolerate packet latency of up to 18 milliseconds can disable the use of sequence numbers by setting the Downstream Resequencing value to 1.
