PPP Session Queueing on ATM VCs

The PPP Session Queueing on ATM VCs feature enables you to shape and queue PPP over Ethernet over ATM (PPPoEoA) sessions to a user-specified rate. Multiple sessions can exist on any ATM VC and have Quality of Service (QoS) policies applied, or some of the sessions might have QoS policies. The router shapes the sum of allbandwidth used for PPPoEoA traffic on a VC so that the subscriber’s connection to the Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) does not become congested. Queueing-related functionality provides different levels of service to the various applications that run over the PPPoEoA session.

A nested, two-level hierarchical service policy is used to configure session shaping directly on the router using the modular quality of service command-line interface (MQC). The hierarchical policy consists of the following:

  • Child policy--Defines QoS actions using QoS commands such as the priority, bandwidth, and police commands.

  • Parent policy--Contains only the class-default class with the shape or bandwidth remaining ratio command configured, or with both commands configured:
    • shape command--Shapes the session traffic to the specified bit rate, according to a specific algorithm.
    • bandwidth remaining ratio command--Specifies a ratio value that the router uses to determine how much unused bandwidth to allocate to the session during congestion.

Note

The PPP Session Queueing on ATM VCs feature works with both PPP terminated aggregation (PTA) and L2TP access concentrator (LAC) configurations.

The figure below illustrates PPP session Queueing on ATM VCs.

Prerequisites for PPP Session Queueing on ATM VCs

  • PPPoEoA sessions must be enabled.

  • Create traffic classes using the class-map command and specify the match criteria used to classify traffic.

  • For dynamic PPPoEoA session queueing using RADIUS, you must:
    • Enable authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) on the router
    • Configure the RADIUS server for dynamic QoS
    • Create the subscriber’s user profile on the RADIUS server

Restrictions for PPP Session Queueing on ATM VCs

  • You cannot configure PPP session queueing on unshaped VCs--VCs without a specified peak cell rate (PCR) or sustained cell rate (SCR).

  • VCs with session queueing polices cannot be part of a shaped virtual path (VP).

  • If the same ATM category (for example, shaped unspecified bit rate (UBR)) contains both high and low bandwidth VCs, the SAR mechanism can cause low throughput for high bandwidth VCs. The workaround is to use different ATM classes for low and high bandwidth VCs. For example, configure low bandwidth VCs as shaped UBR and high bandwidth VCs as variable bit rate-nonreal-time (VBR-nrt) or constant bit rate (CBR).

  • The CLASS-BASED QOS MIB does not include statistics for service policies applied to sessions.

  • RADIUS accounting does not include queueing statistics.

Information About PPP Session Queueing on ATM VCs

Dynamically Applying QoS Policies to PPP Sessions on ATM VCs

The router allows you to dynamically apply QoS policy maps to PPPoEoA sessions using RADIUS. Although the actual configuration of the QoS policies occurs on the router, you can configure the following attribute-value (AV) pairs on RADIUS to specify the name of the policy map to dynamically apply to the session: 


"ip:sub-qos-policy-in=<name of the QoS policy in ingress direction>"
"ip:sub-qos-policy-out=<name of egress policy>"

You define the AV pairs in one of the following RADIUS profiles:

  • User profile--The user profile on the RADIUS server contains an entry that identifies the policy map name applicable to the user. The policy map name is the service that RADIUS downloads to the router after a session is authorized.

  • Service profile--The service profile on the RADIUS server specifies a session identifier and an AV pair. The session identifier might be, for example, the IP address of the session. The AV pair defines the service (policy map name) to which the user belongs.

After receiving a service-logon request from the policy server, RADIUS sends a change of authorization (CoA) request to the router to activate the service for the subscriber, who is already logged in. If the authorization succeeds, the router downloads the name of the policy map from RADIUS using the ip:sub-qos-policy-in[out]= AV-pair and applies the QoS policy to the PPPoEoA session. Because the service policy contains queueing-related actions, the router sets up the appropriate class queues.


Note

Although the router also supports the RADIUS vendor specific attribute (VSA) 38, Cisco-Policy-Down and Cisco-Policy-Up, we recommend that you use the ip:sub-qos-policy-in[out]= AV pairs for QoS policy definitions.

PPP Session Queueing Inheritance

PPP Sessions either inherit queues from their parent interface or they have their own queues. Each PPPoEoA session for which session queueing is configured has its own set of queues.

The table below describes the queues to which the router directs session traffic.

Table 1. PPP Session Queue Inheritance

Session queues

Interfaces Supporting PPP Session Queueing

The router supports PPP session queueing on shaped ATM VCs for outbound traffic only.

The router does not support PPP session queueing on inbound ATM interfaces.

Mixed Configurations and Queueing

A mixed configuration is one in which all sessions do not have QoS applied to them. On some VCs, the queueing policy is applied at the VC level, and on other VCs the queueing policies are applied on the sessions. Some sessions have no policy applied at all. As a result, the router uses the hierarchical queueing framework (HQF) to direct traffic in the following ways:

  • If no queueing policy is applied at the VC or session level, the router sends all traffic on the VC to the default queue, including traffic from sessions on the VC that have a policing-only policy applied or no policy applied.

  • If a queueing policy is applied at the VC level, but not at the session level, the router sends traffic to the queues associated with the queueing policy on the VC.

  • If queueing policies are applied to some sessions on a VC but not to other sessions, the router sends the traffic with a policing-only policy or with no policy applied to the VC’s default queue. The router sends traffic with queueing policies to the queues associated with the queueing policy applied to the session.

Bandwidth Mode and ATM Port Oversubscription

An ATM port can operate in reserved bandwidth mode or shared bandwidth mode.

When a port is not oversubscribed (the sum of the bandwidths of all VCs on the port is less than the port bandwidth), the port operates in reserved bandwidth mode--a specific amount of bandwidth is reserved for each VC on the port. If a VC does not use all of its allocated bandwidth, the unused bandwidth is not shared among the VCs on the port.

When the ATM port is oversubscribed (the sum of the bandwidths of all VCs on the port is greater than the port bandwidth), the port operates in shared bandwidth mode. In this mode, any unused bandwidth is available for reuse by the other VCs on the port, up to the VC’s respective shape rate--traffic on a VC cannot exceed the shape rate of that VC.

Oversubscription at the Session Level

Oversubscription at the session level occurs after session traffic shaping and when the aggregate session traffic exceeds the subinterface shape rate. After all priority traffic is accounted for, the router distributes the remaining bandwidth on the VC to the sessions according to the value specified in the bandwidth remaining ratio command configured in the parent policy of the policy applied to the sessions. If the bandwidth remaining ratio command is not specified in the parent policy, the router uses a default ratio of 1.

How to Configure PPP Session Queueing on ATM VCs

Configuring PPP Session Queueing Using a Virtual Template

A virtual templat e is a logical interface whose configuration can specify generic configuration information for a specific purpose, user-specific configuration information, and router-dependent information. You configure a virtual template on an interface and apply QoS policy maps to the virtual template. The virtual template inherits the QoS features specified in the policy map. When the router establishes sessions on an interface, the router applies the QoS features specified in the virtual template configuration to the virtual access interfaces (VAIs) created for the sessions, including the QoS features specified in the policy map attached to the virtual template.

A broadband aggregation group (bba-group) configured on an ATM interface points to the virtual template the router uses to apply QoS policies to sessions. When a session arrives on an ATM interface, the router creates a virtual access interface (VAI) for the session and applies the policies associated with the virtual template to the sessions.

To configure PPPoEoA session queueing using a virtual template, perform the following configuration tasks:

              Router(config-pmap-c)#  shape   [average  ] mean-rate  [burst-size ] [excess-burst-size ]

Shapes traffic to the indicated bit rate and enables ATM overhead accounting.

(Optional) average is the committed burst (Bc) that specifies the maximum number of bits sent out in each interval. This option is only supported on the PRE3.

mean-rate is also called committed information rate (CIR). Indicates the bit rate used to shape the traffic, in bits per second. When this command is used with backward explicit congestion notification (BECN) approximation, the bit rate is the upper bound of the range of bit rates that are permitted.

(Optional) burst-size is the number of bits in a measurement interval (Bc).

(Optional) excess-burst-size is the acceptable number of bits permitted to go over the Be.

Step 14

Applies the child policy to the parent class-default class.

policy-map-name is the name of the child policy map configured in step 1.

Example

The following example shows how to configure a hierarchical QoS policy. In the example, the child-policy configures QoS features for two traffic classes: Premium and Silver. Premium traffic has priority and is policed at 40 percent. The router sets the IP precedence of Premium traffic to precedence level 3. Silver traffic is policed at 80000 bps and IP precedence level 3 is set. The child-policy is applied to the Parent policy class-default class, which shapes traffic to 200,000 Kbps. 


Router(config)# policy-map child-policy

vpi/ specifies the ATM network virtual path identifier (VPI) for this PVC. You must specify the slash. Valid values are from 0 to 255. The router treats a value that is outside the range of valid values as the connection ID. The default value is 0.

Note 

The arguments vpi and vci cannot both be set to 0; if one is 0, the other cannot be 0.

vci specifies the ATM network virtual channel identifier (VCI) for this PVC. Valid values are from 0 to 1 less than the maximum value set for this interface by the atm vc-per-vp command. A value that is out of range causes an " unrecognized command" error message.

The VCI value has local significance only and, therefore, is unique only on a single link, not throughout the ATM network. Typically, lower values from 0 to 31 are reserved for specific traffic (for example, F4 OAM, SVC signaling, ILMI, and so on) and should not be used.

Configuring PPP Session Queueing Using Radius

To configure PPPoEoA session queueing using RADIUS, perform the following configuration tasks:

Configuring the Policy Map

The router allows you to use RADIUS to apply QoS policy maps to PPPoEoA sessions.

Adding the Cisco QoS AV Pairs to the RADIUS Profile

Cisco attribute-value (AV) pairs are vendor-specific attributes (VSAs) that allow vendors such as Cisco to support their own extended attributes. RADIUS attribute 26 is a Cisco VSA used to communicate vendor-specific information between the router and the RADIUS server.

The RADIUS user profile contains an entry for each user that the RADIUS server authenticates. Each entry establishes an attribute the user can access. When configuring PPPoEoA session queueing using RADIUS, enter the following Cisco AV-pair in the appropriate user profile: 


Cisco-AVPair = "ip:sub-qos-policy-out=<name of egress policy>"

The Cisco AV-pair identifies the policy map the router is to use when applying QoS features to a PPPoEoA session. After receiving a service-logon request from the policy server, RADIUS sends a change of authorization (CoA) request to the router to activate the service for the user, who is already logged in. If the authorization succeeds, the router downloads the name of the policy map from RADIUS using the Cisco AV-pair and applies the QoS policy to the session.


Note

Although the router also supports the RADIUS vendor specific attribute (VSA) 38, Cisco-Policy-Down and Cisco-Policy-Up, we recommend that you use the above attribute for QoS policy definitions.

Example Setting Up RADIUS for PPP Session Queueing on ATM VCs

This section shows how to define the Cisco AV pairs used to download the policy map name to the router. The first three lines of a subscriber’s sample user profile contain the user password, service type, and protocol type. This information is entered into the subscriber’s user profile when the user profile is first created. The last line is an example of the Cisco QoS AV-pair added to the user profile. The policy map name downloaded to the router is p23. 


userid	Password = "cisco"
Service-Type = Framed,
Framed-Protocol = PPP,
