Should also be based on ingress points. Each ingress point will require another appliance for many solutions. Many ISP’s have upstream connections at multiple locations.
The solution we have worked with Sandvine on, pricing is based on: - Points of ingress - Support level required (i.e., do you want 24x7 NOC support or 8-5 M-F support)… there is also options for custom policies to be written by us (we will have standard templates to work from) - Hardware already at your ingress points (if you need to add a server or purchase a NIC card that fails open for instance) - Price per sub - Additional features if desired (the base package will include most of the Sandvine features appropriate for most environments) The objective was to eliminate the upfront cost and give a simple per month price. That way, no hardware to ever have to expire, etc. I’m by no means the expert on the solution in our company, but if anyone wants more information hit me up offlist. We are rolling out our first customers now, although there are many larger WISP’s that invested in the controller based solution that might be able to offer their thoughts on it.
