The peak number of pseudo-subscribers. The peak count includes successfully authenticated pseudo-subscribers as well as those pseudo-subscribers in the process of being authenticated. Pseudo-subscribers are those whose identities are locally configured on a dynamic link (e.g. an ATM subinterface) via the (imprecisely named) Juniper-SUBSCRIBER-MIB. Some links (e.g. IPoA) provide no link protocol with which to query the identity of a remote user. In such a case, a locally configured pseudo-subscriber can be used to conduct AAA authentication-based configuration of the dynamic link when it becomes active. Pseudo-subscribers are understood to be intended more for dynamic configuration than for actually identifying the remote user. Consequently, the pseudo-subscribers are not reflected in any of the subscriber tables defined in this MIB.
