Re: IPAM DDI Software, Subscriber Management, CMDB and Per Customer VLANs

hey,

Subscriber Management/BRAS/BNG: Redback was the big player back in the day, but I believe they are no longer. Juniper has their Subscriber Management feature pack on their MX routers, and Cisco has their Broadband Network Gateway on their ASR routers. Besides these two vendors I am not sure what other solutions are out there. I believe both of these solutions communicate upstream to external radius servers and DHCP servers. Is anyone using Subscriber Management, or is there another way of doing it?

ALU is the most known (and yet least known as subscriber management is mainly used by big telcos who are not sharing what they do internally) and has best subscriber management features both v4 and v6. Google "ALU 7750". -- tarko
