Well I just checked with Clillispot and it does support the bandwidth control, but still looking for port controls

Ok, will call Dlink to see if that have something (the hotspot itself has that functionality internally though)<?

Also do you know if opensources such as NoCAT and ChillBox support such features?

AV = ATTRIBUTE   VALUE

<?<?

D-Link what?  D-Link makes lots of stuff... generally great price... but not the most feature rich products.

To get the features you desire you'll likely need a higher-end box.  I'm not a big proponent of "pitching" specific products in this forum.  Suffice it to say there are vendors that will (or attempt) to provide CoS / filtering on Wireless...

Ok I got it

By the way what is AV pair?

And how do you get NAS related attributes to control bandwidth from vendors? Like if im using D-Link how could I get attributes from them?

Thanks!

Alex,

Features such as 'bandwidth and port blocking" (if any) are allocated/configured on the _NAS_ (in this case a NAS port) via AV pair/s provided by RADIUS... the '802.1x Supplicant" (Client/Endpoint) in simple terms... provides a secure/standard conduit which facilitates the communication of credentials (from the Supplicant to the Authenticator).  The '802.1x Authenticator" (or NAS) _MAY_ provision/enforce Authorization for the specific endpoint in the context of a user or group... 

The management & granularity of this functionality verifies greatly by switch vendor as a result providing this functionality across a multi-vendor environment... in a large scale deployment... is often too complex to seriously consider.<?<?<?
