[j-nsp] Juniper MX480 BNG Feature ?

[Thong Hawk Yen]

Hi J-NSP Members,

We are using MX480 with Junos [11.4X27.44] as BRAS and with Juniper policy manager SRC with Software version SRC-PE Release 4.2 [V4.2.0.R-16] to provide Broadband services over PPPoE.
The BRAS is the element  that is leasing out IP addresses to the subscribers on the ppo interfaces. We notice that there is a high percentage of users are actually idling, not sending/receiving any traffic but the sessions are taking up ip addresses.

It is not very efficient to time-out their session because customer end routers will re-dial. Is there a way to leave the PPPoE session on while the BRAS relinquish idling sessions ip address and re-assign when the customer traffic is back ?

Please advise. Any feedback from any deployment of other BRAS would be helpful. Thanks.

Regards
thong
