Re: Volume Limit per user monthly
I searched for if my huawei vendor accept volume limit AVP and it Does.. At the earlier times, there was a diameter installed and when I look for the old snoop files, I saw CC-Total-Octets. Nas reauthenticate when that value is reached by the user. But when I add this attribute to the reply, no error it givesme but NAS does not returning to me after that value of octets. Why it can be? -- View this message in context: http://freeradius.1045715.n5.nabble.com/Volume-Limit-per-user-monthly-tp5684921p5702923.html Sent from the FreeRadius - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Or, if you want to do it the hard way, compare packet dump output from the old and new radius. It could be incorrect dictionary file, or some other required attributes missing. -- Fajar - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
Volume Limit per user monthly
Hello Guys, I am crazy about this freeradius and thank all of the developers who work for freeradius application. It is great that you are doing such an open source application for everyone who needs. I am reading everything that I found about anything related to FR. And I have a question :) Firstly let me tell that, if the answer of my question that I am going to ask is located in some doc or another place in documentation just link the doc name and I will read it if I did not so I do not consume your time. First of all, the GGSN (NAS), that FR is communication is a Huawei system. I manage to succeed limiting a user usage per day (with respect to session time) with the use of session-timeout AVP that is located in the ACCESS-ACCEPT packet sent to my huawei GGSN and GGSN understand that and try to reauthenticate after that value. But the thing that I want is to limit the volume of the usage of a user in a month with the use of the Acct-Input-Octets and Acct-Output-Octets AVPs. But I am having trouble with impelemnting this. I guess I need to generate a counter and this counter should count the Input and Output Octets located in the accounting section and if it is over the limit that I defined in the users file. Thank you inadvance. -- View this message in context: http://freeradius.1045715.n5.nabble.com/Volume-Limit-per-user-monthly-tp5684921.html Sent from the FreeRadius - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

First thing to ask your NAS vendor is whether they support the volume equivalent of session-timeout. For example, chillispot has ChilliSpot-Max-Total-Octets. If it doesn't, then there's no way to enforce the limit using any radius server. Period. -- Fajar - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html

This is how our local telco works with ADSL. Unfortunately you only get Accounting Updates every hour, so you might let a user run for about an hour before you disconnect him, but you dont really have another option.

Re: Volume Limit per user monthly
Hello Johan, First of all thank you for your answer. I immidiately ask my GGSN vendor if it support data limitting if not, like u said I keep the track of usage for every user but can you give more information about what is POD and how it is sent to my GGSN and also POD is a standart AVP that my GGSN will know it for sure? Keeping track of the usage is not hard for me but the thing is that how can I disconnect the user like you said? -- View this message in context: http://freeradius.1045715.n5.nabble.com/Volume-Limit-per-user-monthly-tp5684921p5685030.html Sent from the FreeRadius - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

When you receive an accoungting update, you do the math. If the user is over, you send a POD. This is how our local telco works with ADSL. Correct. That would be a good method if your NAS supports POD, and you're willing to tolerate some excess traffic (since you only get interim-update packets at certain time interval, not certain volume interval). Unfortunately you only get Accounting Updates every hour, That should be configurable through Acct-Interim-Interval attribute sent by radius. However: - some NAS limits the minimum allowed value (e.g. chillispot ignores values less than 60) - if you set it too low, the load your accting backend (e.g. db) might get too high, as there will be more accounting packets to process. 5, 15, or 60 minutes is usually a good start for Acct-Interim-Interval, depending on your current load. -- Fajar - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Re: Volume Limit per user monthly
I am glad that you are trying to help me guys. These are very good recommendations. I do not have any information regarding the that POD thing but the first thing that I will do is search for it. Is there any place that you recommend me to read for learning the POD mechanism or can you tell a little more about that?
