I tend to agree with Teodor. Even if RADIUS was made to support dial-up and not voice, now all commercial and even open source packages support it. So, even if VSA's etc are indeed a problem, the Cisco VSA's at least tend to become a de-facto standard. Consider the situation where you already have a billing system in place for some gateways who support RADIUS and you need to have a central billing system to support your the GNUGK as well. At this moment, I believe there is no alternative other than RADIUS. It is widely used and accepted. Best regards, Vlasis. Teodor Georgiev wrote: > IMHO, Radius is really needed for a GK.
