[cisco-bba] [Fwd: PPPoVPDN and VA bandwidth]

[Oliver Boehmer (oboehmer)]

I agree, looks like client-initiated L2TP doesn't pass any meaningful
connect-speed to the LNS. Could be an interesting discussion which speed
to pass (as there are potentially multiple ingress interfaces using this
tunnel, so not as easy as on a traditional L2TP LAC), but you can
configure a bandwidth on the vtemplate on the LNS to workaround this,
and this will be used (you could even apply this on a per-user bases
using lcp:interface-config="bandwidth ...").

default config shows 100Mbit:

MHOP-LNS#sh int vi2.1
Virtual-Access2.1 is up, line protocol is up 
  Hardware is Virtual Access interface
  Interface is unnumbered. Using address of Loopback0 (10.0.0.3)
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit, DLY 100000 usec, 

MHOP-LNS#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
MHOP-LNS(config)#int virtual-te 1
MHOP-LNS(config-if)#band
MHOP-LNS(config-if)#bandwidth 2000
MHOP-LNS(config-if)#^Z
MHOP-LNS#
MHOP-LNS#clear vpdn tunnel l2tp all
Clear all L2TP tunnels? [confirm]yStarting to clear the tunnel

MHOP-LNS#

after reestablishing the session we see this reflected on the VAI:

MHOP-LNS#sh int vi2.1
Virtual-Access2.1 is up, line protocol is up 
  Hardware is Virtual Access interface
  Interface is unnumbered. Using address of Loopback0 (10.0.0.3)
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 2000 Kbit, DLY 100000 usec,
