GridM BNG · RADIUS AAA + CoA

Your billing stays. Your BNG gets smarter.

GridM BNG speaks standards RADIUS to the FreeRADIUS, billing or CRM stack you already run, and adds a built-in interceptor for multi-realm wholesale, carrier attributes and live policy, so AAA becomes a capability, not a constraint.

Illustration mirrors the shipping GridM BNG console. Identifiers are fictional.

What ships in the box

  • RADIUS authentication, authorization and accounting (RFC 2865/2866)
  • Change of Authorization, CoA, for live plan changes and mass disconnects (RFC 5176)
  • Multiple RADIUS realms on one cluster for wholesale and partner billing
  • Interim accounting tuned for billing accuracy
  • Works with FreeRADIUS and any RFC-compliant RADIUS or ISP CRM
  • Local fallback policy when RADIUS is unreachable

Drop-in interop

RFC 2865/2866 against any compliant server, with interim accounting tuned for billing accuracy and a local fallback policy for RADIUS outages. Migrations reuse your existing users, plans and workflows.

CoA operators actually use

Change a plan live, apply a quota action, disconnect one session or every session matching a filter, from the console or the API. RFC 5176, wired into daily operations.

A multi-realm interceptor

Run multiple billing realms on one cluster for wholesale and partner models. Inject Operator-Name (RFC 5580), strip realms, rewrite Framed-IP, and preview the whole config as YAML before you apply it.

FAQ

RADIUS AAA + CoA, in detail

Yes. GridM BNG is standards-based RADIUS (RFC 2865/2866) with CoA (RFC 5176), so it drops into existing FreeRADIUS and RFC-compliant billing or ISP CRM stacks. Plans, quotas and disconnects keep working the way your OSS already expects.
