I'm not saying what we do doesn't work. I'm saying what we do isn't the best. I was referring to residential or small-business customers. CE or MPLS are for dedicated services. There is no method known to me in the WISP industry to do what I have described, the ability to separate

It wouldn't be hard to accomplish, no. RADIUS already tells MT the necessary information for PPPoE or DHCP. Canopy and UBNT already have manual methods of defining speed. Everything provides a method for authenticating the customer radio to the AP. Since all of the pieces are already there in

Well, it would still be a piece-meal operation even if you were able to code all of the management pieces. Lots of things in the chain to break. What I would like to see is the radio platform authenticate the wireless client to the AP with RADIUS, providing rate limiting information. Something
