(RADIATOR) How to restrict the Dial Up on Bandwith.

[Guðbjörn S. Hreinsson]

Cheers,

We perform matching 10 min. after the hour every hour. This will analyze
the logs, import it into an sql server and it is then compared to the radius
logs which are also in an sql server.

I think it should scale pretty good, if you have performance problems use
standard techniques, like breaking up the logging in the Collector etc.

The problem is tracking live sessions and configuring your whole access
system so that as little as possible is lost about sessions. Radius is not
the best protocol to insure no session information is lost.

Not really very heavy...

Flat fee and traffic shaping sounds good, do you think your customers
would be willing to pay for keeping the extra bandwidth after they have
consumed the included bandwidth?
