Subscriber Services: ANCP for VLAN demux over aggregated Ethernet interfaces & RADIUS

ANCP can perform class-of-service traffic shaping for a household, for individual PPPoE sessions within a household, or for both. ANCP now supports VLAN demux over aggregated Ethernet interfaces, with or without interface sets. This support includes the following:

• Mapping agent circuit identifiers (ACIs) to interfaces
• Dynamically updating the CoS process with the adjusted downstream data rate. ANCP receives the actual data rate from the access node and then adjusts it according to its configuration before updating CoS. (The upstream rate is not provided to CoS because it does not shape upstream traffic.)
• OAM support for managing PPPoE sessions
• VLAN over Ethernet
• VLAN demux over aggregated Ethernet
