How to scale eduroam RADIUS across multiple sites The hardest problems in running eduroam at national scale have almost nothing to do with RADIUS. They are problems of architecture. Alan DeKok, CEO and Founder, InkBridge Networks Running eduroam RADI... Education Network Architecture
Wi-Fi offload and OpenRoaming: What the track record tells us about seamless authentication Wi-Fi offload sounds simple – push mobile traffic onto cheap Wi-Fi. OpenRoaming and eduroam show exactly where it gets complicated. Alan DeKok, CEO and Founder, InkBridge Networks Wi-Fi offload (somet...

Scaling your RADIUS ecosystem Not all RADIUS systems are the same, and the system architecture can vary wildly. For example, a network design which works well for 10,000 users will likely not work well for 10,000,000 users. It can... Internet Service Providers Network Architecture
Designing your network for fail-over An essential part of good network design is to plan for failures. In a RADIUS ecosystem, one major requirement is that clients can always connect to a RADIUS server, and that the system can continue t... Network Architecture
The problem with RADIUS in the cloud The promise of cloud-hosted infrastructure sounds tempting. Someone else manages your database, you pay only for what you need, you may have better data security, and the database can scale up with yo... Network Architecture
Database design principles for RADIUS systems Database design is often overlooked as a critical element of a RADIUS ecosystem. In practice, when we work with our clients, we usually spend the bulk of our time optimizing the database architecture.... Internet Service Providers Network Architecture
Preventing fraudulent logins with a session database In today's enterprise computer networks, credential sharing is a big problem for ISPs and companies with multiple locations.
