* This is the VOP Radius mailing list * Todd, It's all relative. We receive nearly 200,000 STOP records per day. We lose some..maybe about a dozen. Often these are from certain regions..maybe the carriers reboot the NAS...maybe something else..who knows. I have never seen an improvement..but instead there are a general 1/10 of 1% loss or fewer.
There are a few things about VOP that I would love if they would implement and have been lobbying for years: 1) If a session limit is assigned to a user, then expire that session from the UsersOnline listing after the period has passed..or at least allow a "maximum sesssion" value 2) If an incoming Auth request has the exact same CallingStationID as the one listed, then the user must have dropped..permit it. 3) Currently, there is a linkage between port-limits, UsersOnline, and timebanking. It's a queer,unnecessary relationship...they should be independently configurable. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Todd > Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 10:45 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [VOPRadius] Time Bank > > > * This is the VOP Radius mailing list * > Would love to hear from some on the list that are using Time Banking with > VOP Radius.
