Nish, how does the radius server know how much bandwidth has been used by each person?
If you have a byte counter in the radio, it could write the contents of the counter from RAM into the flash memory every 5 min. Then it doesn't matter if the power is turned off, you only loose up to 5 min. of counted bytes. Right now, I have a page for each customer where they can see how much they have transferred each month. http://www.broadbandbeebe.com/login/levi.php The main advantage to me in having bandwidth throttling at the AP is that I can then remove my dummynet server, meaning one less point of failure, and one less machine to maintain. I can't really do this if I can't write a script to see how much bandwidth someone has transferred.

I think this should not be too difficult to implement externally in a script to change the RADIUS profile when the user exceeds certain set criteria. Doing it on the AP itself would have a few problems � e.g. the power goes down and now the traffic counters start all over again.
