Ask
Vircom to provide and option to disable Concurrent usage enforcement while still
maintaining port-limits and timebanks.
Regarding STOP records, there is no reason to be missing STOP
records. We also wholesale Qwest, UUNET, Aleron, Broadwing, Megapop,
O1.... and we have no issues with STOP records. It comes down to where
does your wholesaler host their radius proxies. We host in Qwest and
UUNET datacenters so there is not packet loss. If a wholesalers hangs
their radius off a DSL line in a closet, then there will be issues. If you
have your radius server not on a top-tier ISP network, you will experience the
same.
I
have seen this problem with all the wholesale networks that I have worked
with. Radius Accounting packets are not a priority to wholesalers.
They want you to have simultaneous logins and customers stuck in radius so
they can charge you more. I did some work for CISP, who is a large
wholesale aggrator for UUNet, Sprint, Qwest and about a half a dozen others.
They had to turn off simultaneous login checking and some other features of
Steele belted radius because of these issues. We figured out that we
only got 1 out of 8 watchdog packets and 1 out of 15 Stop
packets.

Thing is, this seems to be a problem with a lot of wholesale
networks. Honestly, I think you will have the same problem wherever you go.
Stop packets don't seem to be a priority so to speak, in fact I think they
use UDP which means the packets are not even guaranteed to get to their
destination. Read the info on Vircom's site about Watchdog packets.. I think
we tried implementing this but it did not help. It's been a while so I don't
remember if we actually did it or not. Might be worth a try. I think the
watchdog packet thing will only work if it's supported by the NAS but don't
quote me.

I remember a little while ago on this
list i seen some postings about issues
with DialUp USA and Vircom. We
appear to not be recieveing stop
packets...Causing alot of issues with
Vircom.
Is there anyone else out there having problems proxying
through DUSA? Or
any other issues with DUSA? Vircom and DUSA don't
appear to be working
good together. Does anyone have
any advice or
feedback?
