tx-connect-speed-method (L2TP LAC)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Specify the method that determines how to derive the connect speed values sent from the LAC to the LNS.

When the session is being established, the speeds are included in the Incoming-Call-Connected (ICCN) message. The transmit speed is conveyed in AVP 24 (Tx-Connect-Speed) and the receive speed is conveyed in AVP 38 (Rx-Connect-Speed). Both values are in bits per seconds (bps). The LAC typically uses the static or pppoe-ia-tags method, because values for other configured methods are not available when the session is being established.

When connect speed updates are configured, the LAC sends the updated values for each session to the LNS in Connect-Speed-Update-Notification (CSUN) messages. The updated speeds are conveyed in the Connect Speed Update AVP (97).

When connection speed values are not available from the configured method, the LAC falls back to another source for the values. See L2TP Subscriber Access Lines and Connection Speeds for tables describing the LAC fallback behavior by Junos OS release.

Options

method

Method used to derive the connection speed values.

  • actual—(Junos OS Releases 15.1, 16.1, 16.2, 17.1) The speed is derived from the CoS effective shaping rate that is enforced on the level 3 node based on local policy. In the supported releases, actual is the default method and has the highest preference among all configured methods.

    This method is not available starting in Junos OS Release 17.2. However, it is configurable in the Tunnel-Tx-Speed-Method VSA (26-94). If you do so, it is translated to the service-profile method.

  • ancp—The speed is derived from the configured ANCP value for the underlying interface. This value results from a user-defined percentage correction to the values received from the access node; this is configured per subscriber access line. The percentage accounts for encapsulation differences between, the router, the access loop, and the Layer 1 transport overhead. The initial rate sent to the LNS is the ANCP value reported at the time the ICCN is sent. The ANCP value is not available for the ICCN message and falls over to another method. You can change the configured correction after a subscriber has logged in, but those changes do not affect the actual rate used by the LNS for that subscriber.

  • none—This method prevents the LAC from sending AVP 24 and AVP 38 to the LNS. This option also overrides the Juniper Networks RADIUS VSAs, Tx-Connect-Speed (26-162) and Rx-Connect-Speed (26-163).

  • pppoe-ia-tags—The speed is derived from the PPPoE IA tags received by the LAC from the DSLAM. This speed value is transmitted when a subscriber logs in and it cannot subsequently be changed. The value of Actual-Data-Rate-Downstream (VSA 26-129) is used for AVP 24. The value of Actual-Data-Rate-Upstream (VSA 26-130) is used for AVP 38; it is sent only when the values differ.

    Note:

    This speed derived from the IA tags does not apply to subscribers that are already logged in; it is effective only for subscribers that log in after this setting has been saved.

  • service-profile—(Junos OS Releases 17.2 and higher) The downstream (Tx) speed is derived from the actual CoS that is enforced on the L3 node based on local policy. The upstream (Rx) speed is the value configured in the dynamic service profile; no adjustment is made to this value. The service-profile value is not available for the ICCN message and falls over to another method.

    The service-profile method is supported only when the effective shaping-rate statement is included at the [edit chassis] hierarchy level. If it is not, the commit check fails. If the method is received from RADIUS in VSA 26-94, a system log message is generated instead, because no commit check is performed in this case.

  • static—(Junos OS Releases 13.3, 14.1, and 14.2; Junos OS Releases 17.2 and higher) The speed is derived from the configured static Layer 2 speed. For Ethernet VLANs, this is the recommended (advisory) shaping rate configured on the PPPoE logical interface underlying the subscriber interface. If the advisory shaping rate is not configured on the underlying interface, then the actual speed of the underlying physical port is used. In the supported releases, static is the default method.

    In Junos OS Releases 15.1, 16.1, 16.2, and 17.2, the static method is configurable for backward compatibility, but it is not supported. If you configure this method in the CLI or in the Tunnel-Tx-Speed-Method VSA (26-94), the LAC falls back to the port speed of the subscriber access interface.

    Note:

    For ge and xe interfaces, the port speed value is set to 1,000,000,000 and for ae interfaces, the port speed value is set to 0. The value is sent in both AVP 24 and AVP 38.

  • Default:

    • static (Starting in Junos OS Release 17.2)

    • actual (Junos OS Releases 15.1, 16.1, 16.2, 17.1)

    • static (Junos OS Releases 13.3, 14.1, and 14.2)
