They could be making more profit if they didn't have to have all of the administration and support that RADIUS requires.The many thousands of players on the prepaid VoIP market are one of the biggest proofs that your are completely wrong. They do work and make a lot of traffic and profit :)
And every single one of them is either dramaticly overcomplicated or only works with very specific gateway's.What is really so hard since there are more than 100 VoIP prepaid billing software packages?
Just think about it. What would you rather have:
Gateway ----> Radius server ----> Database
or
Gateway ----> Database
I certainly know which option is more complicated and has more of a potential for failure.
I run a major H.323, SIP and IAX VoIP termination service and there is not and will NEVER be a single RADIUS server in my network.

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.Cisco's VSA's are broken. They make it very very hard to do pre-paid calling. Everyone says they have a solution, but none of them work really well. They are either overcomplicated or only allow a single call per account number.------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.
