Hi Kobus, radius manager is not perfect when it comes to counting traffic, nor is it real time.
I use another means to record actual traffic usage as it leaves and enters the network.
This gives me realtime 100% accurate usage, and allows me to capture usage by protocol, destination, etc, irrespective of port, protocol, etc.

Hi Imel

I had the same problem with clients: “I could not possibly have used so much bandwidth.”

So I have decided to write a custom help desk software package in java which works fantastic and way faster than the actual radius manager web application. It links up with it’s own database (MySQL), radius manager’s database (MySQL) and the ready desk database (MSSQL). It uses an automated process when topping up client profiles, logging new support tickets on ready desk and has a lot of tools included to do troubleshooting on client connections as well as tools to do remote support to client computers on the same network.

I have also written a separate automation tool in java to build a daily usage report. It sends out client cap usage notifications via e-mail and if a profile is out of cap, an sms is sent to the client.

I have discovered lately that some of the total limits (10% of the client profiles), when calculated based on the client’s usage, does not match up with the total limits in radius manager when viewing the client’s profile there. For eg.: In the help desk software a client profile may show that he/she has 1.14 Gb left but that same profile on radius manager shows 305 Mb cap left. The other 90% of profiles displays correctly. Can you please advise me on where to start looking to get this resolved?

Thank you very much for your post above. I knew I was not the only one with this issue.

Where and how does one start? I am intrigued by this phenomenon. I see a lot of fibre optic being laid underground and I am asking myself as this whole infrastructure being laid out is for preparing for cloud computing and wi max access?

I started writing my own script, but I’ve only managed to do the polling in Python, some very basic graphing in PHP and some very basic input with jQuery. It’s taking me a while to develop since I’m new to all this. Let me know if you want the code I have so far to take my hacked together solution to the next level.
