Speaking just for myself, of course, I have been interested in thisI think that this thread was pointless. Every experienced system
thread. I hope you don't cut it off or take it private simply because
you think others aren't interested.
designer knows what are standards for and why they are so useful.
I do not tell that Radius is good or bad. I could said that MySQL
is useless and nobody needs it because my VoIP installation does
not use it.
Mysql is a storage, not an authentication service.
Can't be any simpler
You can attach it like a backend to your Radius server.Not necessary... adds bloat
GW / GK <--Radius--> backend.GW/GK <----> backend seems less likely to fail, to me.
That backend could be a SQL database (mysql, oracle, ms-sql), DBM, LDAP, flatWhy have all that overhead when normally you are going to have one maybe two of those technologies in your network?
text file... just anything. Standarts are made to be open and give the developer a freedom.
I will highly prefer to buy let say Cisco or Quintum, because I will choose (or write my own) a Radius based billing software out of many ones.Asterisk is completely GPLd... So if it doesn't do something YOU want YOU have the power to change ANYTHING.... Not just the few things you can tweak with a configuration.
I will be able to modify it the way I want.
What if a gateway comes with a "closed" billing software, written by the gateway vendor. This is stupid.
A lot of people here have experience with the traditional PBXes and their
vendor issued management/billing software.
Again Asterisk is GPL. You can't say that was 99.9999% of the VoIP software out there.
