Example: Configuring Dynamic Hierarchical Scheduling for Subscribers

In this example, subscribers are provided with a data and voice service defined in an access profile when they initially log in. The RADIUS administrator supplies the initial values on the RADIUS server, and the service activation is performed at subscriber login.

After the initial login, the subscriber adds an assured forwarding service that is not defined in the original access profile. A service profile is used to configure the schedulers and a RADIUS CoA activates the service. The queues defined for the schedulers in the initial scheduler map and the new scheduler map are merged.

In addition, the values for the initial data and voice service are upgraded by the RADIUS administrator through a separate RADIUS CoA message.

To configure the initial service and enable the activation through a RADIUS CoA:

1. Configure the access profile for the service activation.

   1. Configure the VLAN interface for the access profile.

   2. Configure the class of service parameters in the access profile. In this example, you configure Junos OS predefined variables that provide the initial scheduler name and scheduler parameters obtained from the RADIUS authentication server when the subscriber logs in.

      Include the configurations for the interfaces, schedulers, and the scheduler maps.

      Table 1 lists the initial values defined by the RADIUS administrator for the scheduler map and shaping rates.

      Table 1: Initial Scheduler Map and Shaping Values at Subscriber Login

      Predefined Variable	RADIUS Tag	Value
      $junos-cos-scheduler-map	T01	data_voice_smap
      $junos-cos-shaping-rate	T02	6m
      $junos-cos-guaranteed-rate	T03	4m
      $junos-cos-delay-buffer-rate	T04	4m

      Table 2 lists the initial values defined by the RADIUS administrator for the voice (expedited forwarding) scheduler.

      Table 2: Initial CoS Values for the Voice Scheduler at Subscriber Login

      Predefined Variable	Tag	Value
      $junos-cos-scheduler	—	ef_sch
      $junos-cos-scheduler-tx	T01	10
      $junos-cos-scheduler-bs	T02	10
      $junos-cos-scheduler-pri	T03	medium-high
      $junos-cos-scheduler-dropfile-low	T04	d3
      $junos-cos-scheduler-dropfile-medium-low	T05	d2
      $junos-cos-scheduler-dropfile-medium-high	T06	d1
      $junos-cos-scheduler-dropfile-high	T07	d0

      Table 3 lists the initial values defined by the RADIUS administrator for the data (best effort) scheduler.

      Table 3: Initial CoS Values for the Data Scheduler at Subscriber Login

      Predefined Variable	Tag	Value
      $junos-cos-scheduler	—	be_sch
      $junos-cos-scheduler-tx	T01	10
      $junos-cos-scheduler-bs	T02	10
      $junos-cos-scheduler-pri	T03	low
      $junos-cos-scheduler-dropfile-low	T04	d0
      $junos-cos-scheduler-dropfile-medium-low	T05	d1
      $junos-cos-scheduler-dropfile-medium-high	T06	d2
      $junos-cos-scheduler-dropfile-high	T07	d3

2. Configure the classifiers, drop profiles, forwarding classes, and rewrite rules in the static [edit class-of-service] hierarchy.

3. Configure the service profile enable RADIUS to activate the video service after login. The video service corresponds to assured forwarding PHB.

   In this example, you configure Junos OS predefined variables that provide the initial scheduler name and scheduler parameters obtained from the RADIUS authentication server when the subscriber logs in.

After the three services are activated, subscribers receive upgraded values for the data and voice service when RADIUS sends a change of authorization (CoA). In this case, the CoS parameters are replaced, because multiple subscribers were not enabled on the logical interface.

Table 4 lists the upgraded values defined by the RADIUS administrator.

Table 5 lists the values defined by the RADIUS administrator for the video (assured forwarding) scheduler.

Table 6 lists the values defined by the RADIUS administrator for the expedited forwarding scheduler in the CoA message. The values are the same as the initial service.

Table 7 lists the values defined by the RADIUS administrator for the best effort scheduler in the CoA message. The values are the same as the initial service.
