Identifying Subscribers, SAEs, and Sessions

The SRC-VTA must be able to identify each subscriber by a unique identifier. The SRC-VTA uses the identifier to manage:

  • VTA accounts and sessions
  • Subscriber and service sessions

You can configure the SRC-VTA to use data keys to identify corresponding data values for these management tasks. The data keys depend on the subscriber’s identifier and comprise one or more plug-in attributes.

Some identifiers are suitable for residential subscribers and some for enterprise subscribers. Because the SRC software supports only enterprise subscribers on JUNOS routing platforms, you cannot use some identifiers with JUNOS routing platforms.
