* This is the VOP Radius mailing list * I have seen major providers drop 15% of stop packets and 30% to 60% of interm packets with dedicated links to the providers for radius auth only. Don't try and tell me that this is an internet problem. Wholesale ISP want you to have your users using their accounts multiple times. It drives up the average time online when this happens.

What if your radius server is unavailable? What if your ISP that your radius server sits off of is having problems routing? This is the Internet and is inherently unreliable. Even 99.999% means you'll drop 1 packet in 100,000. That's at least one per week..if not a few per day. NASs get rebooted, networks fail, proxies have bugs...many things happen. Say whatever you want to the providers but expect it to continue. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Erik Tijburg > Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2003 7:30 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [VOP RADIUS] Ghost login timeouts > > > * This is the VOP Radius mailing list * > I have seen all the Major Wholesellers make these kinds of claims. > UUNet, Sprint, Qwest, MegaPath, etc. My response to these providers > is that if you can't provide me with all accounting packets then you > are not providing a complete wholesale dialup solution. > > > > Erik L.
