RADIUS accounting

RADIUS Accounting

The cgn-ec-producer-radius container image is based on FreeRADIUS (v3) with a custom python module to send accounting events into Kafka.

Using config attributes, a policy is defined to tag specific accounting messages with an attribute Veesixnetworks-CGN-EC-Kafka-Topic based on the different vendor logic (eg. certain RADIUS attributes the vendor defines) and then this is used in the python module to route the message to the correct Kafka topic after converting the accounting tuples to JSON.
