Session Policing

Configuring Session Policing via CLI

You can manage Session Policing in the GUI under SSG control → Services → Session Policings.
The process of configuring session policing consists of two steps:

  1. Creating a service profile and configuring policing within the profile: selecting protocols and assigning them priority (policing class) or speed.
  2. Overlaying a Policing Profile on a subscriber.

Creating and customizing the Service Profile

Create a profile to which we will then add protocols and configure policies.
One protocol can be added to different profiles, and one profile can be overlaid on multiple subscribers.

To create a profile, you need to perform the following actions on the corresponding panel:

  1. Press the + (Add Profile) button.
  2. Enter a profile name
  3. Save
  4. Add the necessary protocols to the created profile: click the + (Add Protocol) button on the Protocols panel
  5. Fill in the details of the protocol/protocol group:
    • Select Mode (Protocol or Protocols Group), fill in the name of the protocol or select the name of the group from the drop-down list
    • Prioritize the selected protocol or group. There are two ways to do this: set the priority or rate.
      Description of parameters:
      • The Priority parameter overrides the class with respect to global DSCP markup
      • With the Inbound rate and Outbound rate parameters, you can set the traffic rate for a particular session
      • The parameters Burst inbound rate and Burst outbound rate show what the short-term rate interruption equals
  6. Save

Applying Session Policing to a Subscriber

Before applying a profile to a subscriber, it is necessary to enable the profile by clicking on the "Start" icon to the left of the profile or above the profile table:

From the graphical interface, you can overlay a service profile on a subscriber in two ways:

  1. Per subscriber on the list
  2. To a multiple or all subscribers in the list
You can apply session policing to a large list of subscribers at once via the console, the command syntax is described in the section Traffic policing management. Named policing profiles.

Per subscriber on the list

  1. Open the profile editing window
  2. Activate service 18 - Session Policings by clicking the checkbox next to it and select the desired profile
  3. Save

To multiple or all subscribers in the list

  1. Check the required subscribers or select the whole list using the checkbox in the table header.
  2. Open the service configuration window
  3. Activate service 18 - Session Policing by clicking the checkbox next to it and select the desired profile
  4. Save
In the debugging and testing mode, assigning services to a subscriber can be done in the GUI.
In industrial operation mode, it is recommended to do this with the help of billing: by the PUSH method or with Radius, and use the GUI to track the settings made.
