Chapter1 Overview of CiscouBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Software

Supported Software Features for the CiscouBR10012 Router

Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC introduces support for Subscriber Traffic Management (STM) through

Version 1.1 on the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router. STM 1.1 supports DOCSIS

1.1-compliant cable modems.

The STM feature enables service providers to identify and control subscribers who exceed the maximum

bandwidth allowed under their registered quality of service (QoS) profiles. STM 1.1 works with

Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR) and Access control lists (ACLs) to ensure full

network performance to other network subscribers that abide by their service agreements. STM 1.1 also

works in conjunction with the Cisco Broadband Troubleshooter 3.2 to support additional network

management and troubleshooting functions in the Cisco CMTS.

STM 1.1 extends earlier STM functions to monitor a subscriber's traffic on DOCSIS 1.1 primary service

flows and supports these additional features:

•Cisco Broadband Troubleshooter (CBT) 3.2 supports STM 1.1.

•DOCSIS 1.0-compliant and DOCSIS 1.1-compliant cable modem are supported.

•Monitoring and application of traffic management policies are applied on a service-flow basis.

•Monitoring window duration increased from seven to 30 days.

Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC introduces the Usage-Based Billing feature on the Cisco uBR10012

router, supporting DOCSIS 1.0- and DOCSIS 1.1-compliant cable modems. This feature provides

subscriber account and billing information in the Subscriber Account Management Interface

Specification (SAMIS) format. SAMIS is specified by the Data-over-Cable Service Interface

Specifications (DOCSIS) Operations Support System Interface (OSSI) specification.

The CISCO-CABLE-METERING-MIB is also introduced with Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC in

support of SAMIS.
