The current number of pseudo-subscribers. The pseudo-subscriber count
includes successfully authenticated subscribers as well as those
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)
Unisphere-Data-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.
