| + | # Managing subscribers | ||
| + | When you're an ISP offering access to the Internet, you need to keep track of a number of things. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Which address space is assigned to who. | ||
| + | * Forward DNS entries, reverse DNS entries with possible delegation. | ||
| + | * Per-customer consumed bandwidth. This can be useful if a subscriber keeps sucking up transit bandwidth, which may end up being deadly expensive for a small ISP. | ||
| + | * Payment history, in case it's not fully automated already. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Don't forget that subscribers may wish to view/change information themselves (bandwidth graph, DNS delegation, etc). | ||
| + | |||
| + | For all these tasks, you need some kind of software. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ## Possible backends | ||
| + | |||
| + | * LDAP | ||
| + | |||
| + | ## Existing solutions | ||

| + | * [[https://atelier.gresille.org/projects/ambre/activity|Ambre]], developped in 2013 by [[http://www.rezine.org/|Rézine]] (Eastern France). Ruby on Rails. | ||
| + | * [[https://code.ffdn.org/FFDN/coin|COIN]], being developed by Illyse in France. Written in Django, with a generic backend system (for now, OpenVPN backend through LDAP). In English as much as possible, but some French may remain. | ||
| + | * [[http://www.ffdn.org/wiki/doku.php?id=documentation&#programmes_scripts|Other tools by FFDN members]], in French | ||
| + | |||
| + | # Provisioning | ||
| + | |||
| + | This is the process of assigning configuration to the end-user equipment (CPE). This includes IPv4 and IPv6 ranges, DNS servers, NTP servers, and so on. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RADIUS|Radius]] is pretty common | ||
