[Asterisk-Dev] H.323 Gateway/Gatekeeper - Radius AAA

[Patrick]

Hi Jeremy,

You have been saying that Radius for billing purposes sucks on #asterisk
and now here. Surprisingly if you google around for billing solutions
you will find many software solutions that use Radius. Back in 2001 I
worked on the billing system at WorldCom and UUNet which generates
billions of CDRs a month. It used Kenan *and* Radius. The only GPL'ed
billing software I could find was Trabas which you said sucked also.

It would be way more useful to people if you could explain *why* in your
opinion Radius is not suitable for billing purposes. And while you are
at it, please take a minute to share what you think is the right
approach to a billing solution for Asterisk. After all, you have already
integrated a billing solution into Asterisk that afaik you can not share
due to resistance of the "suits".

Didn't someone say resistance was futile? :)

Regards,
Patrick
