Radius Billing
Is billing method used by internet service providers (ISPs), telecom companies, or network services that utilize the RADIUS protocol — which stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service. It’s a networking protocol used to manage authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) for users who connect to a network.
Authentication – Verifies the identity of a user trying to access a network (e.g., via dial-up, VPN, Wi-Fi hotspot).
Authorization– Determines what services or resources the user is allowed to access.
Accounting – Tracks the usage data (session time, bandwidth used, etc.), which is the part most relevant to billing.
How RADIUS Billing Works:
- 1A user connects to a network (e.g., logs into a Wi-Fi hotspot).
- 2The RADIUS server authenticates the user and logs session details (start time, stop time, data consumed, etc.).
- 3These logs are used for billing purposes, either:
- 4Per session (e.g., $0.10 per minute),
- 5Per data usage (e.g., $0.05 per MB), or
- 6Flat-rate plans with tracking for overages or policy enforcement.
