[WISPA] RADIUS + StarOS + bandwidth ?
After a few really trying days in the office, I've got our shiny new billing system, with integrated RADIUS and possibly a toaster oven, humming along. Now that I've got a fancy computer thingy to keep track of customers, I'd like to automate and centralize a few more things in my network. StarOS supports RADIUS for just about everything, and (at least in a small trial of one AP, that's only serving one customer) I can get the AP to allow/deny customers access based on their CPE MAC. That's the easy part :) What would be really swell, though, would be if I could tie customers' bandwidth allocations into this as well. Valemount's Web site does have a (teensy) RADIUS dictionary, but the bandwidth attributes all have PPPOE in the name, which at least implies that customer bandwidth can only be set if they're using PPPOE. I have no pressing desire to replace a few hundred CPEs and routers and walk customers through installing PPPOE software and... well, you get the idea. (Right now, we're primarily using MAC authentication and setting customer bandwidth allocations by hand in each AP, but that means changes have to be made at each tower, and having everything centralized would just be spiffy, I think.) So. Does anyone know whether I can set customer bandwidth allocations with StarOS, without switching the whole network to PPPOE?

Huppenthal Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2006 8:55 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] bandwidth Last month, the FCC officially opened up the use of the middle band of the Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) spectrum (5.470 GHz to 5.725 GHz) to 54Mbps 802.11a Wi-Fi networks in the United States. The band adds another 255 MHz and 11 channels to the existing 325 MHz and 13 channels available for Wi-Fi in this band. As of January 20, any products that apply for certification in the 5.470 GHz to 5.725 GHz band or in the lower end of the UNII band at 5.25 GHz to 5.35 GHz, were required to support dynamic frequency selection (DFS) and transmit power control (TPC) to minimize interference, per a February 2005 FCC order http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-05-43A1.pdf.

Re: [WISPA] RADIUS + StarOS + bandwidth ?
The tag was named, descriptively, for the first application it was intended for. The thing about radius attributes, is they are just a number, and can be used for any purpose, even Hotspot bandwidth control, which the Hotspot Server recognizes and uses.

So I can just put VNC-PPPoE-CBQ-RX and VNC-PPPoE-CBQ-TX in my RADIUS Reply packet and it'll do what I expect? Neat!
