Platform Requirements

  • Minimal number of nodes: 2x Mediation, 2x Database and 2x Policing nodes; 6 nodes for full high-availability deployment
  • Logate® Enterprise Linux 1.0 installed on every node - Read more tech specification

Minimal Hardware Requirements

  • Mediation: 2.0 GHz Quad-core 64-bit CPU, 4GB RAM 
  • Policing: 2 x 2.0 GHz Quad-core 64-bit CPU, 4GB RAM
  • Database: 2 x 2.0 GHz Quad-core 64-bit CPU, 8GB RAM

Enterprise Application Integration

  • Authentication and Authorization – Radius RFC2865
  • Accounting – RFC2866
  • Change of Authorization - RFC5176
  • Billing and OSS – WS SOAP v1.2
  • Logate® Enterprise Linux CLI interface for platform maintenance operations: installation, configuration, tuning, troubleshooting
  • GUI interface: Helpdesk usage, O&M administration; service and subscribers management
  • WebService administration interface for subscribers, sessions and accounting full management operations like subscriber provision, profile setup, usage, session disconnect

 

Real-time Policy Control

  • OpenFunctions support: Policy engine API that allows operators to extend policing rules on their own
  • Pseudo-code language for rapid service development
  • Policy enforcing in real-time
  • Access Control: black and white lists
  • Tiered services bundles: bandwidth limits, session duration limit, session max traffic limit, IP address pools, firewall and content filtering controls
  • Time-Of-Day policy control
  • Time-based and volume-based quota policies customizable on per service basis
  • Policy control of captive services: no balance credits, subscription expiration
  • Highly customizable charging and rating policies
  • Network congestion controls: bandwidth fair usage enforcing
  • Policy control of on-demand services: bandwidth- on-demand, video-on-demand, application services, turbo button
  • Subscriber external control of predefined policies: content filtering during business hours and more
  • Service roaming and service access controls depending on geography location
  • Roaming charging plans that are based on location
  • Application customization based on location and profile: portal privileges, advertisements, promotions, 3rd party system grants

The Fair Scheduler

  • Task fair-scheduling: 140 priority levels, real-time nice calculation, starving protection, queue length
  • Unlimited number of tasks: queue allocation per each combination pair of remote host and destination port 
  • O(1) task context switching
  • Worker-thread lifetime:  max requests to be processed before ending  
  • New worker-threads on demand in case od sudden requests increase of load

The Absolute Advantage

  • High-availability and scalability: fully redundant cluster; add nodes as you grow, stateful processing across nodes
  • Unlimited number of domains, nas clients and subscribers
  • Multiple profiles per subscriber
  • Multiple balances per subscriber
  • Service management on a per subscriber, group and service basis
  • Transparent changes in policy rules: virtual session closing on billing cycle, disconnect users on important service or profile change
  • Request duplication protection
  • Radius Attributes: around 14.000 of predefined FreeRadius-compatibile attributes and definitions; custom attribute definition
  • Time-machine: logging all changes and activities, rollback to specific date or system state 
  • Rapid disaster recovery: accounting exportable UDR text files, full system backup/restore
  • Cisco 10000 compliance
