    The document discusses the role and functions of a Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS), now called a Broadband Network Gateway (BNG). The BRAS/BNG is an essential part of broadband networks that controls subscriber access. It establishes and manages subscriber sessions, authenticates users, assigns IP addresses, and enforces quality of service policies to provide broadband internet access to subscribers.

    BRAS/BNG
    Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS)

    Note :
    BRAS was the term previously used, it is now BNG (Broadband Network Gateway). There is no functional difference.

    Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS)

    - BRAS are an essential part of broadband topologies to control subscriber access.

    - BRAS is the access point for subscribers, through which they connect to the broadband network.

    - When a connection is established between BRAS and Customer Premise Equipment(CPE),the subscriber can
    access the broadband services provided by the Network Service Provider(NSP) or Internet Service Provider(ISP).

    - BRAS establishes and manages subscriber sessions. When a session is active, BRAS aggregates traffic from various
    subscriber sessions from an access network , and routes it to the network of the service provider.

    - BRAS is deployed by the service provider and is present at the first aggregation point in the network, such as the
    edge router.

    Note :
    BRAS was the term previously used, it is now BNG (Broadband Network Gateway). There is no functional difference.
    Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS)

    - BRAS effectively manages subscriber access, and subscriber management functions such as:

    •Authentication, Authorization and Accounting of subscriber sessions

    •Address assignment

    •Security

    •Quality of Service (QoS)


    Task of BRAS/BNG

    • Connecting with the Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) that needs to be served broadband services.

    • Establishing subscriber sessions using PPPoE or IPoE protocols

    • Aggregates the circuit from one or more link access devices ( provides aggregate capabilities for IP,PPP,ATM, etc.)

    • Interacting with the AAA server that authenticates subscribers, and keeps an account of subscriber sessions.

    • Interacting with the DHCP server to provide IP address to clients.

    • Enforce quality of service (QoS) polices

    • Provide Layer 3 connectivity and routes IP traffic through on ISP backbone network to the Internet
    Establishing Subscriber Sessions

    Each subscriber (or more specifically, an application running on the CPE) connects to the network by a logical session.

    Based on the protocol used, subscriber sessions are classified into two types:

    PPPoE subscriber session: The PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) subscriber session is established using the
    point-to-point(PPP) protocol that runs between the CPE and BNG.IP Addressing is done using DHCP
    Protocol.

    IPoE subscriber session: The IP over Ethernet (IPoE) subscriber session is established using IP protocol
    that runs between the CPE and BNG.
    Point To Point Protocol Over Ethernet (PPPoE)

    • PPPoE transmitted over Ethernet networks, and it allows a single was designed for managing how data is server connection
    to be divided between multiple clients, using Ethernet. As a result, multiple clients in shared network can connect to the same
    server from the Internet Service Provider and get access to the internet, at the same time, in parallel.

    • P2P protocol over Ethernet encapsulating PPP frames in Ethernet frames (Src MAC, Dst MAC).

    • Offers standard PPP features such as authentication, encryption, and compression

    • PPPoE has two distinct stages as defined in RFC 2516:

    - Discovery stage

    - PPP session stage


    PPPoE Call Flow
    Discovery stage

    - The discovery stage allows the PPPoE client (CPE/enduser PC/ router/Modem) to discover all PPPoE servers and then
    select one to use.

    - The host must identify the MAC address of the peer and establish a PPPoE session
    Ethertype : 0x8863
    PPPoE Call Flow

    Session stage

    - PPP normal operation (LCP,NCP(IPCP))

    - data plane: each PPPoE Session ID attached to


    virtual access interface on BRAS/BNG
    Ethertype : 0x8864

    - After the PPPoE session has established,


    with Ethertype 0x8864 and all the messages
    will include inside PPPOE header the session ID
    ( and that's for PPP session stage and data plane)

    Notes:
    - MTU size for Ethernet is 1500 Bytes
    - PPPoE header is 6 Bytes
    - PPP protocol ID is 2 Bytes
    So PPP maximum transmission unit (MTU) must not
    greater than (1500-8) = 1492 Bytes
    PPPoE Call Flow

    PADT ( PPPoE Active Discovery Terminate ): can send this message by PPPoE client or the PPPoE server to
    terminate the session.
