Instantiating a new host

When a DHCP ACK is received for a new subscriber host on a particular SAP:

If this is the first host of a subscriber, an HQoS scheduler is instantiated using the ingress and egress scheduler policies referred to in the subscriber profile. Otherwise, if the subscriber profile of the new host equals the subscriber profile of the existing subscriber, the new host is linked to the existing scheduler. If the subscriber profile is different from the subscriber profile of the existing subscriber, a new scheduler is created and all the hosts belonging to that subscriber are linked to this new scheduler. The new subscriber profile does conflict with the subscriber profile provisioned for a static host or non-sub-traffic under the same SAP.

If this is the first host of a subscriber on a particular SAP using a particular SLA profile, an SLA profile instance is generated and added to the SLA profile instance table. This includes instantiating a number of queues, according to the ingress and egress QoS profiles referred to in SLA profile, optionally with some specific overrides defined in the SLA profile. Otherwise the host is linked to the existing SLA profile instance for this subscriber on this SAP.
