- Calling Station ID
Concurrency feature implementation. If this option is
checked, many users or a same user can be granted
access to a same NAS port
using different Calling Station IDs. This option
is useful for anyone using
a wireless NAS which make use of Calling Station ID to
store MAC address
(e.g. Nomadix, etc.).
If this option is checked, user port limit and NAS
port limit are treated
like connection limits no matter the type of the
different connections being
NAS ports and/or Calling Station IDs.
In addition if
this option is checked, VOP Radius considers Calling Station
ID to be universally unique if the Calling Station ID
is at least
10-character long (The latter encompasses MAC address,
E.163 and E.164
format types). Normally VOP Radius in
order to prevent ghost connections
when an access request comes in from a same NAS for a
port VOP Radius has
a user already connected to, the new connection is
allowed to replace the
ghost connection rather than being rejected. In case
this option is checked,
VOP Radius considers Calling Station ID to be a
non-sharable resource too.
In order to prevent ghost connections when an access
request comes in for
a Calling Station ID VOP Radius had a user already
connected to, the new
connection is allowed to replace the ghost connection
rather than being
rejected. Therefore this option is also useful for
anyone using a carrier
not providing any means to monitor their NAS activity
(e.g. GlobalPOPs, etc.).

So the new feature is …. Cleanup of
users based on callingstationid and username being identical?

The feature is implemented.
The build will now go through beta testing
and will be available shortly.

Importance: High
The feature WILL BE available
in update 17 due early next week (Monday or Tuesday).
Meanwhile I would appreciate that ALL OF
YOU that uses Globalpops send me an e-mail.
I want to know how many you are...

If you want the Caller-id feature I would
recommend you call vircom and talk to Sylvain. He's the guy that can make
it happen. I've been talking with him for about 6 mo. See the
following email exchange.
****************************************************************************************************
I fixed a bug in our software which was
creating ghost users. And I wanted you to give it a try to see whether it would
help your case ...
Your feature request is definitively still
planned and our new base of wireless customers also need it.
It is planned for this quarter, I
will advise you as soon as it will be available.

Subject: Re: RADIUS proposed
enhancement...
We installed VOP
Radius version 4.0.228 in
mid October. We were very excited to get to this new release
because it was to have a feature that cleaned up ports based on same calling-station-id. This
was to resolve ongoing problems we have with wholesale ports providers
where we can not use watchdog packets.
We have not been able to locate the
calling-station-id clean
up feature which we were told would be disabled by default. Did this
feature not make this release as planned? Was the idea scrapped?

“Can VPRRS detect no
activity on a connection and reset it?”
No, however VOPRadius has a feature that
works well that with a bit of tweaking cold solve our problems. As it stands
now, if a simultaneous login comes from the same NAS/NasPort as a user already
connected, the new connection is allowed to replace the current connection
rather than being rejected. The thought here is that the only way a new
connection could come in with the same NasPort and username is if the current
connection is a ghost. This makes perfect sense.
With this said, I have talked to one of
the Radius Admins at GP about this and they state that if our Radius Servers
could do the same thing with caller-id and username ghosting wouldn’t be
a problem.

Globalpops does not send
"keep-alive" packets, therefore we are having a problem with
simultaneous connections. What are others (with GP) doing to eleviate
this problem? Can VPRRS detect no activity on a connection and reset it?
