A residential subscriber is an end recipient of a service offering, such as VoD or VoIP. A residential subscriber host, sometimes called a subscriber host or simply a host, is an end device, such as a computer or set-top box, that connects to the provider network and receives the service traffic.
The term subscriber, in the context of the NFM-P, refers to a unique identifier that associates a group of residential subscriber hosts with policies. Hosts that use the same subscriber identifier share overall HQoS and accounting characteristics as defined in a customer SLA, but may use QoS policies and queues that differ based on the type and level of service offering.
