Quoting Nish Park <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: *<*>* I was thinking about a script that looks at your dummynet data and apply *<*>* the business rule (e.g. cut off the service after 5GB). This will then *<*>* change the RADIUS profile. *<*>* *<*>* Byte counters are easy to do in the radio (it may be already there). The *<*>* tricky part is what business rules to design into the unit. As different *<*>* people would have different requirements. *<*>* *<*>* Nish *<*>* *<*>* *<*>* -----Original Message----- *<*>* From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *<*>* [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of *<*>* [EMAIL PROTECTED] *<*>* Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 11:51 PM *<*>* To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' *<*>* Subject: Re: [smartBridges] FW: Introducing the airPoint XO series from *<*>* smartBridges! *<*>* *<*>* 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. *<*>* *<*>* Thanks, *<*>* Roger
RADIUS Knows how much bandwidth is used by Accounting. Only problem is, every radio I have used will not send proper accounting data to a radius.
