Chilli uses RADIUS to provision access and to provide accounting.
Direction of Input and Output
The original ChilliSpot defined input and output as being data uploaded and downloaded by the client respectively. Uses the reverse meaning (per default) making it more compatible with some other commercial access controllers.
In RFC 2866, it says:
This attribute indicates how many octets have been received from the port over the course of this service being provided.
This attribute indicates how many octets have been sent to the port in the course of delivering this service.
However, this is not very conclusive as it depends on what side of the port you are referring to. In the manual for a popular commercial access controller, is says:
Number of octets/bytes received by the customer.
Number of octets/bytes sent by the customer.
This is the definition adopted by CoovaChilli - one of the very first changes made to ChilliSpot, for use with back-end systems also supporting commercial access controllers.
The following RADIUS attributes are used to place limits on a session authorized by a RADIUS Access-Accept response:
Session-Timeout = seconds
Standard RADIUS attribute (defined in RFC 2865) for setting the maximum session timeout. The user is logged out after this amount of time; session duration.
Idle-Timeout = seconds
Standard RADIUS attribute (defined in RFC 2865) for setting the maximum idle timeout. The user is logged out after this amount of time of inactivity (no traffic).
ChilliSpot-Max-Input-Octets = bytes
ChilliSpot-Max-Output-Octets = bytes
ChilliSpot-Max-Total-Octets = bytes
Chilli vendor specific attributes for setting the max in, out, or total bytes transferred for the session. See above for the meaning of input and output.
WISPr-Bandwidth-Max-Up = bits/second
WISPr-Bandwidth-Max-Down = bits/second
WISPr vendor specific attributes for setting the maximum bandwidth rate in bits per second.
ChilliSpot-Bandwidth-Max-Up = kbits/second
ChilliSpot-Bandwidth-Max-Down = kbits/second
Chilli vendor specific attributes for setting the maximum bandwidth rate in kbits per second. Internally, chilli multiplies this value by 1000 in converting to bits per second.
In all cases, the ChilliSpot vendor specific attributes override WISPr attribute values. However, using the WISPr attributes is perhaps the more standard way to go.
In RADIUS Accounting, the following attributes are used to report session statistics:
Acct-Session-Time = seconds
Duration of session in seconds.
Acct-Input-Octets = bytes
Acct-Output-Octets = bytes
The lower 32-bit value of the number of bytes of input and output (see above for a discussion of the meaning of input vs. output).
Acct-Input-Gigawords = gigawords
Acct-Output-Gigawords = gigawords
The upper 32-bit value of the number of bytes of input and output; or how many times the above attributes have rolled-over the 32-bit value.
Acct-Input-Packets = num-packets
Acct-Output-Packets = num-packets
The number of packets carrying input or output octets.
