QoS Classification, Policing, and Marking on a LAC
The QoS Classification, Policing, and Marking on a LAC feature allows service providers to classify packets based upon the IP type of service (ToS) bits in an embedded IP packet. The classification is used to police the incoming traffic according to the differentiated services code point (DSCP) value. The purpose of classifying the packet by examining its encapsulation is to simplify the implementation and configuration needed for a large number of PPP sessions.

Prerequisites for QoS Classification, Policing, and Marking on a LAC
•You must configure the client router, the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) Access Concentrator (LAC), and the L2TP Network Server (LNS) before applying the QoS policy map as described in the "Configuration Examples for QoS Classification, Policing, and Marking on a LAC" section.
•You must use the show sss session command to verify that the user sessions are enabled on a LAC.
•You must configure the virtual-template interface before applying the policy map to the session.
Restrictions for QoS Classification, Policing, and Marking on a LAC
The following restrictions apply to the QoS Classification, Policing, and Marking on a LAC feature:
•Service-policy on Point-to-Point Protocol over X.25 (PPPoX) interfaces is not supported.
•Class-based queueing and class-based shaping are not supported.
•Layer 2 marking is not supported.
•The QoS MIB is not supported.
•The clear counters command does not clear the counters of the QoS policy map.
•Multihop virtual private dial-up networks (VPDNs) are not supported.
Information About QoS Classification, Policing, and Marking on a LAC
To use the QoS Classification, Policing, and Marking on a LAC feature, you should understand the following concepts:
•Benefits of the QoS Classification, Policing, and Marking on a LAC Feature
•Upstream Traffic from the LAC to the LNS
•Downstream Traffic from the LNS to the LAC
Benefits of the QoS Classification, Policing, and Marking on a LAC Feature
•This feature provides policing and marking on a per-session basis for traffic forwarded into L2TP tunnels to the appropriate LNS and for traffic coming from an L2TP tunnel toward a customer edge router.
•This feature helps recognize the IP ToS value in the Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) encapsulated traffic in order to classify and police the traffic according to the DSCP value.
QoS Policy Maps and a LAC
QoS policing and marking can be achieved by attaching a QoS policy map to the user interface on a LAC in the input and output directions. By using tunnels, input and output service policies can be attached to interfaces. Policy maps get enforced as the packet enters or leaves the tunnel.
Figure 1 shows the deployment of QoS on PPPoE sessions originating at the client and terminating at the LNS.
Figure 1 Sample Topology for QoS on PPoE Sessions
Note In this sample topology, the LAC is a Cisco 7200 series router.
Upstream Traffic from the LAC to the LNS
Upstream traffic corresponds to packets traversing from the tunnel source to the tunnel destination; in this case, the traffic moves from the LAC to the LNS. The input QoS policy map acts on the upstream traffic before the packet gets encapsulated with the tunnel header.
Downstream Traffic from the LNS to the LAC
Downstream traffic corresponds to packets traversing from the tunnel destination to tunnel source; in this case, the traffic going from the LNS to the LAC. The output QoS policy map acts on the downstream traffic after the tunnel encapsulation is removed from the packet header.
SSS Sessions on the LAC
The Subscriber Service Switch (SSS) session provides you with the infrastructure to apply QoS features on a per-session basis. The SSS session is preconfigured on the virtual template, and you can use this template to provide QoS classification, policing, and marking.
You can verify the statistics of the upstream and downstream traffic from a QoS policy map in an SSS session by using the show policy-map session command.

DETAILED STEPS
Configuration Examples for QoS Classification, Policing, and Marking on a LAC
This section contains the following configuration examples:
•Example: Configuring the Routers
•Example: Verifying the SSS Session
•Example: Applying the QoS Policy Map
•Example: Verifying the QoS Policy Map for Downstream Traffic
•Example: Applying the QoS Policy Map to the Session
•Example: Verifying the QoS Policy Map for Upstream Traffic
Note The following examples show you how to apply QoS policy maps to upstream and downstream user session traffic to achieve the required Service Level Agreements (SLAs) provided by the service provider.
Example: Configuring the Routers
The following example shows the configuration of the routers before the QoS policy map is verified.
Client Configuration
When you log in to the PC, a PPPoE session is established at the client that faces the LAC. This PPPoE session is forwarded through the L2TP tunnel from the LAC to the LNS at which point the PPPoE session terminates.
To apply QoS sessions to the user traffic that originates from the PC to the web server and to the traffic that originates from the web server to the PC, you should apply a QoS policy map to the user session on the LAC in the input and output directions. The classification will be based on the user traffic that originates at the PC and the web traffic that originates at the web server.
This topology supports bidirectional traffic, meaning that traffic can flow from the PC to the web server and from the web server to the PC.

Example: Verifying the SSS Session
The following example from the show sss session command shows that a user session is enabled on the LAC:
Router# show sss session

Example: Applying the QoS Policy Map
The following output shows a QoS policy map to be applied to the user session in the output direction, which is the downstream traffic coming into the PC from the web server. The first subclass of traffic within the session is marked with dscp af11, the second subclass is policed, and the third subclass is dropped.

Example: Configuring the LAC
The following example from the interface virtual-template command shows a QoS policy map being applied to the user session on the LAC:
Router# configure terminal

Router(config-if)# service-policy output downstream-policy
Router(config-if)# end
Example: Verifying the QoS Policy Map for Downstream Traffic
In the following example from the show policy-map session command, the QoS policy map is applied for traffic in the downstream direction.
Note The session ID, 401, is obtained from the output of the show sss session command in the "Example: Verifying the SSS Session" section.

Example: Applying the QoS Policy Map to the Session
In the following example, the service provider applies a QoS policy map to the user session in order to limit the amount of bandwidth that the user session is permitted to consume in the upstream direction from the PC to the web server.
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# policy-map upstream-policy
Router(config-pmap)# class class-default
Router(config-pmap-c) police cir 8000 bc 1500 be 1500 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop
Router(config-if)# end
This QoS policy map is then applied to the user session as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface virtual-template1
Router(config-if)# service-policy input upstream-policy
Router(config-if)# end
Example: Verifying the QoS Policy Map for Upstream Traffic
In the following example from the show policy-map session command, the QoS policy map is applied for traffic in the upstream direction.
Note The session ID, 401, is obtained from the output of the show sss session command in the "Example: Verifying the SSS Session" section.
Router# show policy-map session uid 401 input
SSS session identifier 401 -
Service-policy input: upstream-policy
Class-map: class-default (match-any)
