Controlling Subscriber Bandwidth


First Published: May 2, 2005
Last Updated: February 18, 2009

The Dynamic Subscriber Bandwidth Selection (DBS) feature enables wholesale service providers to sell different classes of service to retail service providers by controlling bandwidth at the ATM virtual circuit (VC) level. ATM quality of service (QoS) parameters from the subscriber domain are applied to the ATM PVC on which a PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) or PPP over ATM (PPPoA) session is established.

Feature Information for Controlling Subscriber Bandwidth

Restrictions for Controlling Subscriber Bandwidth

The DBS feature does not support the following:

Switched virtual circuits (SVC)

PA-A1 or PA-A2 port adapters installed in a Cisco 7200 series router

When changing QoS values dynamically on a VC, there will be some duration (typically milliseconds) during which traffic on the VC is dropped.

Information About Controlling Subscriber Bandwidth

Information about controlling subscriber bandwidth includes the following:

Traffic-Shaping Parameters

Benefits of Controlling Subscriber Bandwidth

Traffic-Shaping Parameters

Using DBS you can set the ATM permanent virtual circuit (PVC) traffic-shaping parameters to be dynamically changed based on the RADIUS profile of a PPPoE or PPPoA user logging in on the PVC. If the user is the first user on a given PVC, the RADIUS profile values override the default values of the PVC. If users already exist on the PVC, the new value overrides the existing configuration only if it is higher than the existing value. If multiple PPPoE sessions are allowed on a subscriber VC, the highest peak cell rate (PCR) and sustainable cell rate (SCR) of all the sessions are selected as the PCR and SCR, respectively, of the VC.

You can apply DBS QoS parameters per user as well as per domain. If you apply DBS QoS parameters under a domain profile, all users in that profile are assigned the same DBS QoS parameters. These parameters are assigned to the RADIUS profile for that domain. You can also apply distinctive DBS QoS parameters via the RADIUS user profile.

Traffic-shaping parameters can be locally configured by Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) in VC-mode, VC-class, range mode, or PVC-in-range mode. These parameters have a lower priority and are overridden by the shaping parameters specified in the domain service profile. Traffic-shaping parameters that are CLI-configured at the VC class interface or subinterface level are treated as the default QoS parameters for the PVCs to which they apply. These parameters are overridden by the domain service profile QoS parameters of the domain the user is logged in to. If no VC class is configured, the default is the unspecified bit rate (UBR).

When a network access server (NAS) sends a domain authorization request and receives an affirmative response from the RADIUS server, this response may include a "QoS-management" string via vendor-specific attribute (VSA) 26 for QoS management in the NAS. The QoS management values are configured as part of the domain service profile attributes on the RADIUS server. These values contain PCR and SCR values for a particular user or domain. If the QoS specified for a domain or user cannot be applied on the PVC to which the session belongs, the session is not established.

Changing PVC traffic parameters because of new simultaneous PPPoE sessions on the PVC does not cause existing PPPoE sessions that are already established to disconnect. Changing domain service profile QoS parameters on the RADIUS server does not cause traffic parameters to automatically change for PVCs that have existing sessions.

When you enter the dbs enable or no dbs enable command to configure or unconfigure DBS, existing sessions are not disconnected. If you have a session that has been configured for DBS and you configure the no dbs enable command on a VC, additional sessions that are configured will display DBS-configured QoS values until the first new session is up. After the first session is brought up, the VC has default and locally configured values. If you configure the dbs enable command after multiple sessions are already up on the VC, all sessions on that VC have DBS QoS parameters.

Benefits of Controlling Subscriber Bandwidth

DBS provides the following benefits:

Wholesale service providers can provide different bandwidth options to their retail service provider customers, such as ISPs and enterprises.

Subscribers can choose between enhanced and basic service, with a fixed billing plan for each service.

Step 6

Example:

Applies DBS QoS parameters.


Configuring the RADIUS Attributes for DBS

You can apply DBS QoS parameters per user as well as per domain. If you apply DBS QoS parameters under a domain profile, all users in that profile are assigned the same DBS QoS parameters. These parameters are assigned to the RADIUS profile for that domain. You can also apply distinctive DBS QoS parameters via the RADIUS user profile.

Configure the RADIUS attributes listed in this section in the user or domain profiles on the authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server. The user or domain profile is downloaded from the AAA server as part of user authentication.

The QoS management string for DBS has the following syntax:

Cisco-Avpair = atm:peak-cell-rate=155000
Cisco-Avpair = atm:sustainable-cell-rate=155000

You must configure the PCR. Configuring the SCR is optional. If you configure only the PCR, the ATM service type is an unspecified bit rate (UBR). If you specify both the SCR and the PCR, the ATM service type is a variable bit rate nonreal-time (VBR-nrt) connection.

If the peak rate is greater than the maximum rate permitted on the ATM physical interface, the PCR applied on the ATM PVC is set to the maximum rate. If the specified PCR is less than the minimum rate, then the PCR applied on the ATM PVC is the minimum rate.

If the sustainable-cell-rate (in Kbps) applied exceeds the maximum for the interface, the session is rejected.


Note DBS cannot change service categories such as from UBR to VBR-nrt. For details, see the table in Configuring Dynamic Suscriber Services.


Verifying DBS


Note The configuration examples in this section explain the PPPOE termination using a VPDN group. Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB, PPPOE termination is performed using the BBA group.



Step 1 Enter the show atm pvc vpi/vci command to view details about ATM PVCs or VCs:

Router# show atm pvc 0/75

PPPOE enabled.
DBS enabled.

Step 2 Enter the show atm pvc dbs command to display information about ATM PVCs that have DBS QoS parameters applied:

Router# show atm pvc dbs
            VCD /                                      Peak  Avg/Min Burst

UP

Step 3 Enter the show running-config command to verify that DBS QoS parameters have been applied. If you enter the dbs enable or the no dbs enable command, it appears in the output of the show running-config command. If you enter the default dbs enable command, it does not appear.

Router# show running-config
