Abstract

See full text

In general, techniques are described for performing customer bandwidth profiling in computer networks. A network device intermediately positioned in a service provider network between a customer network and a centralized network device that provides a hierarchical arrangement of virtual local area networks (VLANs) located in the service provider network may perform the techniques. The network device determines a service profile based on authentication messages and associates the service profile with the hierarchical arrangement of VLANs used for delivering the traffic to and from the customer network and the service provider network. The service profile defines constraints on delivery of the traffic associated with the one or more services. The network device then applies the service profile to the traffic received via the associated hierarchical arrangement of VLANs to enforce the constraints on the delivery of the traffic received via the associated hierarchical arrangement of VLANs.
