[AusNOG] RADIUS solution - what would you do if you were starting from scratch?

[Lisle, Ben]

I really can't give a high enough recommendation for Radiator.  Fantastic product.  Amazing support if you need it by Hugh and Mike.  I think there's a free 30 day trial version you can download.  Grab that and have a look at the goodies/ directory which should give you a good idea on what you can do.

Management wise regardless of whatever you pick you're going to have to build some glue yourself (it does come with a gui for use management but I've never used it).  You can't get around that. Radiator being a written completely in Perl is very extensible.  Performance wise we've never had an issue with it.

If you wanted to go the free route I'd recommend FreeRADIUS.

If you have any questions feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
