Hi Erez,
For each AP you need to maintain a table of client connections that are
"accepted", meaning that the client has presented some type of credential
or payment or whatever.
Packets from clients that are not accepted are routed to some
authentication or payment gateway, with possible port translation.
The accepted client table does not have to be on the AP itself. It is
usually held in a RADIUS server upstream. The authentication gateway also
does not need to be on the AP itself. It can be upstream and does not have
to be the same as the RADIUS server. You can also have more than one
payment gateway but use the same RADIUS server.
That, in a nutshell is how it is done. There's a lot of netfilter/iptables
smoke an mirrors going on on the AP.

Hi Erez,
No. The ability to configure a payment/authentication gateway is a router
feature. I worked on this feature for Alvarion's WBSn. Every router designer
develops their own feature.
can you elaborate ?

Subject: partly OT: notification of url when connecting to open wifi
this is partially off topic
some times when i connect to open wifi on aitports, my phone (android)
gives me a notification of a site i need to go to, and if i click on
it, it opens a browser with a predefined URL
i was wandering - is that part of an RFC or standard ?
10x
