Once you leave the vacuum of the lab, there are going to be things like this that come up. And many will be for good reasons. Others will be for crappy, legacy reasons.

That application then takes the totals and sends them as a Radius Accounting packets to our Radius Servers, which store the data in a SQL backend. Our billing system (Platypus) can then generate bills for customers based on usage.. in this case Gigabytes of Data transferred. For our dial-up customers is based on a certain block of hours with minutes charged at a specific rate over the limit. It is a system that makes it trivial to assign a value to some data point and create an itemized invoice for it. I am in the process of deploying an Asterisk server to provide voice services to about 20 phones. It would be nice to be able to use our existing billing system to simply charge people for the minutes they have used and/or use the block pricing models that we already have in place (I.E. First 1000 minutes free, .03 each additional) without having to use another billing system and import/export data. For me, having CDR data delivered as a Radius accounting packet would save me tons of development time, and many hours of additional work implementing a paralell billing system for the express purpose of accurate billing. So.. I'll be happy to help out in the effort, but my C coding skills are rustier than hell, and more than likely I'll break many things along the way. ;) On the other hand, if someone has a simple, open-source, SQL based billing, invoicing, CDR management program, I am all ears!

Of course a direct SQL connection from * would still work with the backend. Doug So, you would like to build at least the extension list portion of a Dialplan from RADIUS on boot and as it changes, correct? we use a TPTP server for boot configs our XML server can provision the account profile for each users config file RADIUS is a lightweight AAA server that offers basic protocol security and fast username/password authentication. A better solution would be a direct port connection to the SQL server from *. The only limitation I see is the lack of security between * and SQL servers using a port connection. If * and SQL are on the same server then this would minimize security concerns. You would expect SIP/H323/IAX/zap-destinations to be created(or activated) from RADIUS as well, right? yes.. mainly SIP UA's like 7960/7940 IP phones and ATA 186/188 just to list a few. H.323 Gatekeeper/gateways could take advantage of the RADIUS AAA. - Andrew Thompson http://aktzero.com/ Your eyes are weary from staring at the CRT. You feel sleepy.
