Applying Traffic Shaping Parameters Using Radius Profiles; Feature History For Dynamic Bandwidth Selection - Cisco 10000 Series Configuration Manual

Applying Traffic Shaping Parameters Using RADIUS Profiles

Applying Traffic Shaping Parameters Using RADIUS Profiles
Dynamic bandwidth selection (DBS) dynamically changes ATM traffic shaping parameters based on a
subscriber's RADIUS profile. This profile contains such QoS traffic shaping parameters as:
•
•
•
The Cisco 10000 series router supports DBS for the unspecified bit rate (UBR) and variable bit
rate-nonreal time (VBR-nrt) categories of the ATM traffic management class:
•
•
As shown in
or PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) session to the Cisco 10000 series router, DBS retrieves the RADIUS user
profile and sets the QoS parameters to the shaping parameters specified in the user profile. The profile
might contain PCR and SCR values for DBS configuration. If the profile specifies both values, DBS
configures the ATM VC service class as VBR-nrt. Otherwise, DBS configures the service class as UBR.

VC traffic management class (VBR or UBR)
UBR service class—The router applies only the PCR parameter to a UBR configured VC, depending
on the port configuration.
VBR-nrt service class—The router applies the PCR and SCR parameters to the VBR-nrt VC.

Description
The Dynamic Bandwidth Selection feature was introduced
on the PRE2. This feature is also known as Per User QoS
Using AAA Policy Name.
This feature was integrated in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB
for the PRE2.
