6. Hot IPDR use cases in Cable
» Today
 Service aware capacity management
 DOCSIS aware subscriber usage monitoring
 Policy-based congestion mitigation (aka. ‘fair use’)
 DOCSIS network intelligence & subscriber analytics
» Tomorrow
 Node aware capacity management
 Metered billing
 Service assurance & proactive network maintenance

7. IPDR Machine Data Deluge
Continuing with our example:
54 Million CM devices in 2011
Total M2M IPDR data*
2.20 TB/day
Oxford
Encyclopedic
~1 PB/year
Dictionary
540 MB
• Based on two statically provisioned service flows per CM and a 10% call probability per MTA

9. Other MSO IPDR enhancement requests
» Security
 Current ACL approach in connect message
 Address securing connection between CMTS exporter and collector
 Leverage standard TLS toolkit
» Class based rate limiting
 Large numbers of embedded CM devices
 Some Service Flows more interesting than others (eg. CM vs. ASTB)
 Desire method to configure time based record export intervals on a
per Service Class (Name) basis

10. In Summary
» IPDR has arrived
» Use cases are many
» ‘Big Data’ is getting bigger
» Continued IPDR enhancement desired
