Tracking GB Usage

[Tom Martinson]

IPDR was developed for just this use case.

In the basic DOCSIS IPDR implimentation (all CMTSs have to do IPDR to 
pass cable labs, and your Cisco and Arris both do theses) the following 
is the information that is tied together.  All you have to do is set the 
CMTS to export IPDR records and then setup a server to collect them.

Tom.

CMTShostName            Name of the CMTS CMTSipAddress IP Address of the 
CMTS
CMTSsysUpTime          SysUpTime taken from the CMTS
CMTScatvIfName         CATV interface name from the Interfaces Group
CMTScatvIfIndex         CATV interface index
CMTSupIfName            Upstream interface name
CMTSupIfType               Upstream interface type
CMTSdownIfName         Downstream interface name
CMmacAddress          The MAC address of the Cable Modem
CMdocsisMode             The registration mode for this modem (1.0, 1.1 
or 2.0)
CMipAddress              The IP address of the Cable Modem
CMCPEipAddress         List of IP address assigned to CPE's behind the 
Cable Modem
Rectype                       Interim indicating that the Service Flow 
is still running. Stop indicating that it has completed

GateID                        GateID for PacketCable initiated service 
flows
serviceClassName     Service Class Names applied to the service flow by 
the CMTS if implemented
serviceDirection          Upstream or Downstream
serviceOctetsPassed     Current or final count of octets passed by this 
service flow (usage counting)
servicePktsPassed      Current or final count of packets passed by this 
service flow
serviceSlaDropPkts     Number of packets dropped by the CMTS when 
enforcing a QoS SLA
serviceSlaDelayPkts     Number of packets delayed by the CMTS when
