System Overview
Huawei MA5200G Broadband Access Server (hereafter called

the MA5200G) aims to overcome the inherent deficiencies of

the broadband network technology, such as poor user
management capability, poor service control capability, and
unreliable network security.

System Overview
The MA5200G series includes MA5200G-8, MA5200G-4

and MA5200G-2. The three types of products use the

same kind of Service Forwarding Unit (SFU), and are
consistent in functional features.
The major differences lie in the quantity of access users

allowed in the system and the switching capacity.

Hardware componentsSFU
Composed of the CPU subsystem and
NP subsystem.
The CPU subsystem is responsible for
the user access control packets and user
access procedures. It also manages the
SFU module, and controls the user
service management policies of the NP
subsystem.
The NP subsystem processes user data
packets according to the defined policies,
and queries the routing table for packet
forwarding.

Security Management
Access control Through the standard ACL or EACL, the MA5200G

implements fine control over user access authorities. Based on the user
access control policies, the MA5200G classifies users into different
groups for management.
Sophisticated ACL functions include:
Standard ACL
Extended ACL (EACL)
User-based ACL (UCL)

QoSCAR
The MA5200G supports CARs. On the MA5200G, the peak rate,

average rate and basic rate can be configured for users. According
to the configured parameters, the MA5200G can limit the traffic rate
for a user. The range of control is 8Kbps to 1Gbps. The bandwidth
control granularity is 8Kbps.
The MA5200G supports six levels of priority queues. It provides

differentiated services and implements traffic shaping for the AF1

AF4, EF and BE services. The MA5200G supports 802.3x-based
traffic control, and the Weight Random Early Detection (WRED)
algorithm. Thereby, congestion can be avoided from occurrence
