It means that there has been a Dynamic Channel Change. You were provisioned on one downstream channel and, for load balancing purposes, the UBR wants to re-provision you.

Igni is the expert on this because I don't know whether it's because of underlying human action or some whizzo automatic load balancing technique to make everybody's life better!
