Service Flow Accounting via CLI - Cisco uBR 7246/10k CMTSes

Hi guys,

At the moment we are using SAMIS for usage accounting data/IPTV/VoIP etc. However the 15minute minute delay between samples is unacceptable. A lot can happen in 15minutes.

I have written a simple script to telnet to a CMTS and execute commands to grab subscriber details etc. Which is a hell of alot more efficient and faster than SAMIS. It takes about 5 seconds to telnet to a cmts, and fetch the counters and service flow details for every mac on a heavily loaded uBR10K cmts (close to 30K subscribers).

So far the commands that I am using and have discovered.
'show interfaces description | include Cable modem interface' - this gives me a list of all the cable interfaces (relevant for below commands)
'show interfaces cable 6/0 modem' - this gives me their current state (but not very important)
'show interfaces cable 6/0 qos paramset' - this gives me qos index values which are relevant in the next command
'show interfaces cable 6/0 service-flow' - this gives me the service flow IDs and what qos index they are using for each mac

All i need know is something like 'show interfaces cable 6/0 service-flow counters' style command that lists all the counters for each service flow in batch mode.
At the moment i found 'show interfaces cable 6/0 service-flow 15 counters' where 15 is the service flow ID, however having to execute the command for every service flow is not efficient (imagine, every mac has about 6 service flows, multiplied by about 30k macs, 180k! )

Also i know there is a command:
'show cable modem counters' however this shows an aggregate of all usage, i need to be able to break ths usage down based on their service flows.

Cheers,
William.

Have you tried to get the data you need using ipdr? I know the Motorola BSR64k and Cisco 10k support it

Samis data is ipdr records

Samis data is ipdr records in XML however the lowest frequency between samples can only be set to 15minutes :(
