* This is the VOP Radius mailing list * The Pops business is not simple. "They all" buy from each other, and from multiple MMP vendors in general. Qwest, ICG, UUnet etc... so don't expect uniformity. They authenticate on their servers, don't send watchdog packets out to you, may or may not get them from their/vendors RASs, etc.
Work with what they give you. You aren't going to change their internal system. I can assure you from personal contact the GP people and the GP tech gurus are no slouchs. You may not agree with their plan, but they do have a plan and are doing it.

Whatever RADIUS program GP is running (it's either freeradius or radiator if I remember correctly) would only proxy the interim packets...not generate them. To be fair you can't really say if GP is responsible for the watchdog packets without knowing two things...if the NAS is truely theirs...(look at your accounting and verify the NAS IP belongs to them [I'll wager it doesn't])...or what type of hardware they're using, some hardware won't send watchdog/interim packets. There are a few backbones out there that support interim packets ...without replacing hardware, I doubt GP is one of them. > > > > > > Yup!
