Subscriber Traffic Management

This document describes the Subscriber Traffic Management (STM) feature Version 1.3. STM feature supports all DOCSIS-compliant cable modems.

The STM feature allows a service provider to configure a maximum bandwidth threshold over a fixed period for a specific service class (or quality of service [QoS] profile)). The subscribers who exceed this configured threshold can then be identified and allocated reduced QoS. STM works as a low-CPU alternative to Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR) and access control lists (ACLs). However, using STM does not mean that NBAR and ACLs have to be turned off; STM can be applied along with NBAR and ACLs. STM also works in conjunction with the Cisco Broadband Troubleshooter to support additional network management and troubleshooting functions in the Cisco CMTS.


Important

In this document, the phrase QoS profile is synonymously used to indicate a service class for a DOCSIS 1.1 cable modem. However, QoS profile applies only to DOCSIS 1.0 operations. In instances where QoS profile is mentioned to indicate DOCSIS1.1 operations, the QoS profile should be treated as a service class.

Restrictions for Subscriber Traffic Management on the Cisco CMTS Routers


Note
In this document, the phrase QoS profile is synonymously used to indicate a service class for a DOCSIS 1.1 cable modem. However, QoS profile applies only to DOCSIS 1.0 operations. In instances where QoS profile is mentioned to indicate DOCSIS 1.1 operations, the QoS profile should be treated as a service class.

The STM feature has the following restrictions and limitations:

  • In STM version 1.1, the sampling rate range (duration) is calculated using the monitoring duration rather than the constant range (10 to 30 minutes) used in STM 1.0.
    • If the monitoring duration is more than a day (1440 minutes), the duration sample rate is calculated as (duration / 100).
    • If the monitoring duration is less than a day, the sample rate range is from 10 to 30 minutes.
    • If you are using STM 1.0 with a duration of two days and a sample rate of 20 minutes, and you try to restore that configuration in STM 1.1, the command fails because now the valid range is from 28 to 86 minutes.
  • For DOCSIS1.0, the registered QoS profile specified by an enforce-rule must match exactly a QoS profile that exists on the Cisco CMTS. To manage a cable modem that is using a modem-created QoS profile, you must first create that same exact QoS profile on the Cisco CMTS. All parameters in the QoS profile must match before the cable modem can be managed by the enforce-rule.

  • The Cisco cBR series routers support a certain maximum of 40 enforce-rules. If you have created the maximum number of enforce-rules and want to create another rule, you must first delete one of the existing rules.

  • Changing the configuration of an enforce-rule automatically resets all byte counters for the subscribers who are mapped to that enforce-rule.
  • When specifying a QoS profile to be enforced when users violate their registered QoS profiles, both the originally provisioned QoS profile and the enforced QoS profile must be created on the Cisco CMTS.
  • The Subscriber Traffic Management feature calculates duration based on the time set on the router, not uptime. Therefore, if you use the clock set command to change the time on the router, you might affect the STM monitoring behavior.
  • The maximum cycle for subscriber traffic management is 31 days. If you choose a cycle of 31 days, the minimum sample rate that you can set is (31 days/100) minutes.

Feature Overview

The STM feature allows service providers to configure a maximum bandwidth threshold over a fixed period, for a specific service class (or QoS profile). The subscribers who exceed this configured threshold can then be identified and allocated a reduced QoS. This feature supplements current techniques such as NBAR and ACLs, to ensure that a minority of users do not consume a majority of a cable network’s bandwidth.

Current subscriber controls, such as NBAR and ACLs, examine all packets coming into the CMTS. These techniques can curb a large volume of problem traffic, but they are not as effective in dealing with the latest generation of peer-to-peer file-sharing applications that can place heavy demands on a network’s available bandwidth.

The STM feature allows service providers to focus on a minority of potential problem users without impacting network performance or other users who are abiding by their service agreements.

The STM feature supports two types of monitoring:

  • Legacy Monitoring—Legacy monitoring allows you to set up a single monitoring duration without the ability to choose the time of day when that monitoring is performed. The configured monitoring parameters remain constant throughout the day.
  • Peak-Offpeak Monitoring—Peak-Offpeak monitoring allows you to specify up to two high-traffic periods in a day for monitoring, in addition to the ability to continue monitoring during the remaining (or off-peak) periods. By combining the peak time option with weekend monitoring, you can identify and limit the bandwidth usage of certain subscribers for up to two peak network usage periods during weekdays, and during a different set of peak usage periods on weekends.

When a cable modem goes offline and remains offline for 24 hours, the Cisco CMTS router deletes its service flow IDs from its internal databases, and also deletes the modem’s traffic counters. This can allow some users to exceed their bandwidth limits, go offline, and come back online with new counters. The Subscriber Traffic Management feature helps to thwart these types of theft-of-service attacks by implementing a penalty period for cable modems that violate their service level agreements (SLAs). Even if a cable modem goes offline, its counters are still reset, and the CMTS continues to enforce the penalty period.

Feature List

The Subscriber Traffic Management feature has the following operational features:

  • Subscriber Traffic Management 1.1 (STM 1.1) supports cable modems that have registered for DOCSIS 1.1 operations (using the service class/service flow ID [SFID] model).

  • Up to 40 enforce-rules can be created on each router.

  • Separate enforce-rules can be used for downstream traffic and for upstream traffic. However, the limit on the total number of enforce-rules that can be configured includes the upstream and downstream rules combined.

  • Each enforce-rule uses a subscriber’s registered QoS profile to identify which users should be monitored for excessive traffic for DOCSIS1.0 cable modems. The registered QoS profile must exist on the Cisco CMTS. If you want to manage cable modems that are using QoS profiles that were created by the cable modem, you must first manually create a QoS profile with the exact same QoS parameters on the Cisco CMTS, and then allow the cable modem to come online using the manually created profile.

  • Each enforce-rule specifies the maximum number of kilobytes a user can transmit during a specified window.
  • Subscribers who exceed the maximum bandwidth that is specified by their enforce-rule can be automatically switched to a separate enforced QoS profile that limits their network use for a customizable penalty period. The enforced QoS profile can change the guaranteed bandwidth, priority, or any other aspect of the traffic that the service provider considers an acceptable response to subscribers who violate their service agreements.
  • Subscribers are automatically switched back to their registered QoS profile at the end of their penalty period. A technician at the service provider’s network operations center (NOC) can also switch them back before the penalty period expires.

    Note

    To manually switch back, delete the cable modem and allow it to register again.

  • This feature also supports a no-persistence option, so that the enforced QoS profile does not remain in effect when a cable modem reboots. This option is particularly useful when the feature is initially implemented, so that the service providers can identify problem subscribers and applications, without creating a major impact on the entire user base. When repeat offenders are found, they can then be switched to an enforce-rule that does keep the enforced QoS profile in effect even when the cable modem reboots.
  • Service providers can display a list of all subscribers’ current usage statistics. Service providers can also display a list of just those subscribers who are overconsuming bandwidth.
  • The penalty period persists across reboots of the cable modem, so subscribers cannot avoid the enforced QoS profile by resetting their modems and reregistering on the cable network. This allows service providers to set an appropriate penalty for those users that consistently exceed the maximum bandwidth they have been allocated. Service providers also can specify a time of day when CMs that are identified for penalty can be released from the penalty period.
  • If a user that is using excessive bandwidth decides to upgrade to a higher level of service, the service provider can reconfigure the provisioning system to assign a new QoS profile to the cable modem. The user can then reboot the cable modem and come online using the new level of service.
  • Service providers can change subscriber service classes for a particular modem using the cable modem service-class-name command.
  • Different subscriber monitoring parameters can be configured for weekends, including peak and offpeak monitoring windows. You can also establish the same monitoring windows for every day of the week, or turn off monitoring altogether on the weekends as desired.

Sliding Window for Monitoring Service Flows

When an enforce-rule is activated, the CMTS periodically checks the bandwidth being used by subscribers to determine whether any subscribers are consuming more bandwidth than that specified by their registered QoS profiles. The CMTS keeps track of the subscribers using a sliding window that begins at each sample-rate interval and continues for the monitoring-duration period.

Each sample-rate interval begins a new sliding window period for which the CMTS keeps track of the total bytes transmitted. At the end of each sliding window period, the CMTS examines the byte counters to determine if any subscriber is currently overconsuming bandwidth on the network.

For example, with the default sample-rate interval of 15 minutes and the default monitoring-duration window of 360 minutes (6 hours), the CMTS samples the bandwidth usage every 15 minutes and determines the total bytes transmitted at the end of each 360-minute window. Therefore, every 15 minutes, the CMTS determines each subscriber’s usage statistics for the preceding 6-hour period.

Figure below illustrates how this process works, with a new sliding window beginning at the beginning of each sample-rate interval period.

Figure 1. Monitoring-Duration Windows

Weekend Monitoring

With standard legacy and peak-offpeak monitoring configuration, monitoring continues to occur on the weekends.

STM version 1.2 supports configuration of different monitoring conditions on weekends. Weekend monitoring options support the same parameters that are available in the existing monitoring options, but use a separate set of commands to configure alternate monitoring on weekend days. This includes configuration of peak and offpeak weekend monitoring windows.

In addition, the CLI supports the ability to turn off any monitoring on the weekend, or to use the same monitoring conditions for every day of the week.

SNMP Trap Notifications

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap notification can be sent whenever a subscriber violates the enforce-rule. This trap is defined in the CISCO-CABLE-QOS-MONITOR-MIB and is enabled using the snmp-server enable traps cable command.

Each SNMP trap notification contains the following information:

  • MAC address of the subscriber’s cable modem
  • Name of the enforce-rule being applied to this subscriber
  • Total bytes sent by the subscriber during the monitoring-duration window
  • Time at which the subscriber’s penalty period expires

The CISCO-CABLE-QOS-MONITOR-MIB also contains the following tables that provide information about the Subscriber Traffic Management configuration and about subscribers who violate their enforce-rules:

  • ccqmCmtsEnforceRuleTable—Contains the attributes of the enforce-rules that are currently configured on the Cisco CMTS.
  • ccqmEnfRuleViolateTable—Provides a snapshot list of the subscribers who violated their enforce-rules over the sliding monitoring-duration window.

The following objects are used for enforce rules:

  • ccqmCmtsEnfRulePenaltyEndTime
  • ccqmCmtsEnfRuleWkndOff
  • ccqmCmtsEnfRuleWkndMonDuration
  • ccqmCmtsEnfRuleWkndAvgRate

  • ccqmEnfRuleViolateAvgRate

Cable Modem Interaction with the Subscriber Traffic Management Feature

The Subscriber Traffic Management feature ensures that users cannot bypass the QoS restrictions by rebooting their cable modems or performing other configuration changes. The service provider, however, continues to be able to change the modems’ profiles and other configuration parameters as desired.

When the Subscriber Traffic Management feature is enabled, the following behavior is in effect:

  • The primary service flow counters for downstream and upstream traffic are preserved when the cable modem reboots. The service provider, however, can reset the counters by changing the QoS profile for the cable modem using the cable modem qos profile command and resetting the cable modem.
  • Secondary service flow counters are reset whenever the cable modem reboots. This happens regardless of the enforce-rule configuration.
  • The cable modem retains its current primary downstream and upstream service flows when it reboots. If the cable modem is in an enforced QoS profile penalty period when it reboots, it continues using the enforced QoS profile after the reboot. Service providers can manually change the profile by assigning a new QoS profile using the cable modem qos profile command.

Note
Changing the QoS profile for a cable modem using the cable modem qos profile command, also changes the enforce-rule for the cable modem when it reboots. When the cable modem comes back online, it begins operating under the enforce-rule whose registered QoS profile (see the qos-profile registered command) matches the new QoS profile the modem is using.
  • Service providers can also change the enforce-rule configuration. The following happens when the provider changes the enforce-rule configuration:
    • If the enforce-rule is disabled (using the no enabled command), all cable modems using that rule’s registered QoS profile are no longer managed by the Subscriber Traffic Management feature. Configuring no enabled, deactivates the enforce-rule and moves all the modems in penalty to its registered QoS.
    • If the registered QoS profile for the rule is changed (using the qos-profile registered command), the cable modems that are using the previous registered QoS profile are no longer managed by the Subscriber Traffic Management feature. Instead, any cable modems that use the new registered QoS profile begin being managed by this rule.
    • If the enforced QoS profile for the rule is changed (using the qos-profile enforced command), any cable modems using this rule that are currently in the penalty period continue using the previously configured enforced QoS profile. Any cable modems that enter the penalty period after this configuration change, however, use the new enforced QoS profile.
  • Service providers also have the option of making an enforce-rule nonpersistent, so that the enforced QoS profile does not remain in force when a cable modem reboots. Instead, when the cable modem reboots and reregisters with the Cisco CMTS, the CMTS assigns it the QoS profile that is specified in its DOCSIS configuration file.

How to Configure the Subscriber Traffic Management Feature on the Cisco CMTS Routers

This section contains the following:

Creating and Configuring an Enforce-Rule

Every service class name that needs to be monitored will be linked with an enforce-rule. An enforce-rule defines the monitoring duration, the sample rate, the penalty period, and the registered service class name that the enforce-rule is linked to and the enforced service class name.

Use the procedure given below to create and configure an enforce-rule. An enforce-rule does not become active until the enabled command is given.

Before you begin

  • The registered and enforced service (QoS) profiles must be created on the CMTS before creating an enforce-rule that uses those profiles. If you want to manage a cable modem that currently uses a modem-created QoS profile, you must first manually create a new QoS profile on the CMTS with the same QoS parameters as the modem-created profile. Then allow the modem to come online using the manually created profile before beginning this procedure.
    • To display quality of service (QoS) profiles for a Cisco CMTS, use the show cable qos profile command in privileged EXEC mode.
    • To configure a QoS profile, use the cable qos profile command in global configuration mode. To set a particular value to its default, or to delete the profile when no specific parameters have been set, use the no form of this command.
  • For monitoring of DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems:
    • Only DOCSIS 1.1 modems that register with a service class name are monitored.
    • To ensure that the DOCSIS 1.1 service flow counters remain across a reboot of the CM, configure the cable primary-sflow-qos11 keep all global configuration command.
  • Only primary upstream and downstream service flows are supported.

Restriction
  • When configuring peak-offpeak monitoring, you can define a maximum of two peak durations within a day, and also monitoring of the remaining hours, if you configure the offpeak duration. The monitoring duration and threshold for first peak, second peak, and offpeak, can be different. However, the monitoring duration for any peak or offpeak configuration cannot be more than a day.
  • The parameters defined by the named service class should always be a compatible subset of the registered set of parameters for the CM. Only certain options can be changed using a CMTS router service class, such as the max-rate , priority , or tos-overwrite options. The max-burst option in both the enforced and registered CMTS router service classes must strictly match the value for max-burst in the registered DOCSIS configuration file. If the service class value does not match, either the cable modem registration will fail with a reject-c state, or the enforced class will fail.

Procedure

  Command or Action Purpose
Step 1

enable

Example:


Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:


Router# configure terminal

Enters the global configuration mode.

Step 3

cable qos enforce-rule name

Example:


Router(config)# cable qos enforce-rule test

Creates an enforce-rule with the specified name and enters the enforce-rule configuration mode.

Note 
Each enforce-rule can be created by giving it a name.
Step 4

monitoring-basics{legacy | peak-offpeak} {docsis10 | docsis11}

Example:


Router(enforce-rule)# monitoring-basics peak-offpeak docsis11

Defines the kind of monitoring desired and the type of modems to be monitored.

The default is legacy and DOCSIS 1.0.

Step 5

Perform one of the following:

  • If you specified DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems in Step 4, use the following commands:

    1. qos-profile registered profile-id

    2. qos-profile enforced profile-id [no-persistence]

  • If you specified DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems in Step 4, use the service-class {enforced | registered } name command.

Example:


Router(enforce-rule)# service-class enforced test

  • For DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems:

    1. Specifies the registered quality of service (QoS) profile that should be used for this enforce-rule.

      Note 
      If you want to manage a cable modem that currently uses a modem-created QoS profile, you must first manually create a new QoS profile on the CMTS with the same QoS parameters as the modem-created profile. Then allow the modem to come online using the manually created profile before using this command.

    2. Specifies the quality of service (QoS) profile that should be enforced when users violate their registered QoS profiles for DOCSIS 1.0 cable modems.

  • For DOCSIS 1.1 (and later) cable modems, identifies a particular service class with the specified name for cable modem monitoring in an enforce-rule.

Changing a Cable Modem Service Class

Use the following procedure to change a QoS service class for a particular DOCSIS 1.1 cable modem.


Restriction
  • The command is supported only on DOCSIS 1.1 CM primary service flows.
  • You can specify the cable modem service-class-name command only after the CM has been online for at least 200 seconds.
  • The parameters defined by the named service class should always be a compatible subset of the registered set of parameters for the CM. Only certain options can be changed using a CMTS router service class, such as the max-rate , priority , or tos-overwrite options. The max-burst option in both the enforced and registered CMTS router service classes must strictly match the value for max-burst in the registered DOCSIS configuration file. If the service class value does not match, then CM registration will fail with a reject-c state, or the enforced class will fail.

Monitoring the Subscriber Traffic Management Feature on the Cisco CMTS Routers

This section describes the following tasks that can be used to monitor the Subscriber Traffic Management feature:

Displaying the Currently Defined Enforce-Rules

To display all enforce-rules that are currently defined on the Cisco CMTS router, or the definitions for a particular enforce-rule, use the show cable qos enforce-rule command in privileged EXEC mode.

For offpeak monitoring, use the show cable qos enforce-rule command to display the monitoring duration and average-rate values applicable for that time of day. If no monitoring is taking place, 0 is displayed.

The following example shows sample output from the show cable qos enforce-rule command for all configured enforce-rules:

Configuration Examples for Subscriber Traffic Management on the Cisco CMTS Routers

This section lists sample configurations for the Subscriber Traffic Management feature on a CMTS router:

Example: DOCSIS Configuration File and STM Service Classes

The following example shows a sample DOCSIS configuration file along with sample registered and enforced QoS service classes that you could define on a Cisco CMTS router to perform subscriber traffic management.

DOCSIS Configuration File Options

This is an example of a very basic set of options that you can configure for a cable modem in your DOCSIS configuration file that supports a successful configuration of new QoS service class options on the Cisco CMTS router.


Note
There are certain QoS parameters that cannot be changed from the registered QoS parameter set and a new service class. For example, the max-burst value must match the originally registered in the DOCSIS configuration file, and the registered and enforced QoS service classes on the Cisco CMTS router. If the max-burst value differs from the registered CMTS service class and the DOCSIS configuration file, the CM might go into reject-c state, or the enforced class could fail.

The following example shows the configuration of two service classes named “BE-STM-US-1” and “BE-STM-DS-1” in a DOCSIS configuration file to define a basic set of upstream and downstream parameters: 


03 (Net Access Control) = Yes
17 (Baseline Privacy Block)
S01 (Authorize Wait Timeout) = 10
18 (Maximum Number of CPE) = 10
24 (Upstream Service Flow Block)
S01 (Flow Reference) = 1
S04 (Service Class Name) = BE-STM-US-1
S06 (QoS Parameter Set Type) = 7
25 (Downstream Service Flow Block)
S01 (Flow Reference) = 2
S04 (Service Class Name) = BE-STM-DS-1
S06 (QoS Parameter Set Type) = 7
29 (Privacy Enable) = Yes
The following example shows sample cable service class 
commands on the Cisco CMTS router for configuration of subscriber traffic management that correspond to the service class names in the DOCSIS configuration file of “BE-STM-US-1” and “BE-STM-DS-1.” These service classes correspond to the registered service classes configured by the service-class registered
 command for the QoS enforce-rules shown later in this example:
cable service class 2 name BE-STM-US-1
cable service class 2 upstream
cable service class 2 max-rate 2000000
cable service class 2 max-burst 3044
cable service class 2 max-concat-burst 8000
cable service class 3 name BE-STM-DS-1
cable service class 3 downstream
cable service class 3 max-rate 30000000
cable service class 3 max-concat-burst 8000

For the cable modem to achieve maximum US thoroughput, provide a large value to the max-concat-burst keyword in the cable service class command.

The following example shows sample cable service class commands on the Cisco CMTS router that configure new QoS parameters for identified subscribers to limit bandwidth using the max-rate parameter. These service classes correspond to the enforced service classes configured by the service-class enforced command for the QoS enforce rules shown later in this example: 


cable service class 102 name BEUS-1
cable service class 102 upstream
cable service class 102 max-rate 48888
cable service class 102 max-burst 3044
cable service class 102 max-concat-burst 8000
cable service class 103 name BEDS-1
cable service class 103 downstream
cable service class 103 max-rate 988888
cable service class 103 max-concat-burst 8000

The following example shows configuration of the corresponding enforce-rules for upstream and downstream monitoring, which identifies the registered and enforced service classes: 


cable qos enforce-rule US-1

Example: Downstream Configuration

The following example shows a typical enforce-rule configuration for traffic in the downstream direction: 


!
cable qos enforce-rule downstream-rule
  monitoring-basics legacy docsis11
  penalty-period 10
  service-class registered class5
  service-class enforced class99
  duration 30 avg-rate 1 sample-interval 10 downstream enforce

Example: Upstream Configuration

The following example shows a typical enforce-rule configuration for traffic in the upstream direction: 


!

  monitoring-basics legacy docsis11
  penalty-period 10
  service-class registered class5
  service-class enforced class99
  duration 30 avg-rate 1 sample-interval 10 upstream enforce
  enabled

Example: Downstream and Upstream Configuration

The following example shows a typical enforce-rule configuration for traffic in both the downstream and upstream directions. Two separate rules are created, using the identical configuration, except for the keywords upstream and downstream in the duration command.


Note
The enforce rules for the upstream and downstream directions can use either an identical configuration, or they can use their own individual configurations.

  monitoring-basics legacy docsis11
  penalty-period 10
  service-class registered class5
  service-class enforced class99
  duration 30 avg-rate 5 sample-interval 10 downstream enforce
  enabled

The following example shows an enforce-rule configuration for traffic in upstream direction. A unique penalty duration is configured for upstream, with monitoring turned on after the penalty release time.


Note
For upstream direction, a unique penalty duration (120 minutes) is configured, which takes precedence over the duration configured using the penalty-period command (60 minutes). A fresh monitoring starts after the penalty release time (23:00), when all the traffic counters are reset to 0.
