[cisco-bba] Dynamic routing over L2TP LNS

Hi Arie,

I've read that document quite a few times in the past trying to solve  
this :) about the only difference I do is I use the "legacy" av pair  
according to the docco, although im sure I tried the sub-qos-policy  
way too with no difference.

Essentially I create the child CBWFQ policy I then create a parent  
policy with a shape average percent and then the child service policy  
under it, the PPP user is assigned a bandwidth and service policy via  
RADIUS through authentication, I am able to replicate time after time  
that saturating the link with the shape average percent set well below  
the full capacity will only show a "shaping active - yes" when ppp  
multilink is used.

I've tried this on 1760/2801/7401/720x with various flavours of IOS in  
between, is there anything obvious you think I could be missing here,  
given it works absolutely beautiful with ppp multilink and not so  
beautiful without it, worth noting that the CBWFQ classes will still  
match without ppp multilink but the QoS is ineffective given the lack  
of artificial bandwidth restraint on the ppp session.

Cheers

Ben
