[RADIATOR] Redback BRAS _ Radiator _ GPON network

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Thomas -

If the Redback Smartedge BRAS can be configured to send RADIUS interim accounting updates, then yes you can configure Radiator to handle them.

Note that this is totally dependent on the Redback device, so you will need to check their documentation.

regards

Hugh

Currently their radiator is handling their customers authentication. Kindly advise whether it is possible to send interim accounting updates from Redback BRAS NAS to a new radiator radius server in order to identify the top bandwidth abuser customer company sharing the GPON leased line on an hourly basis.

Lets say from 1-2pm , 2nd company  fully uses the 10Mbps bandwidth and therefore during this hour the rest of the 9 companies cannot use this connection, hence we need to identify these leased line abuser companies on a hourly basis and put them under a separate tariff plan in order to provide them a dedicated line to fulfill their bandwidth needs as per their consumption rates. Currently since the ISP GPON network terminates at the ministry of communication from where it is distributed to the customer companies, the ISP does not have visibility on the top bandwidth abuser company as a lump-sum.
