Routers and network access

IP and MAC bindings for ISPs

Bill the devices without logins

Charge for devices that never log in, like CCTV, offices and point-to-point links. Some connections have no username: a camera, a business router, a fixed wireless link. Bindings give such a device a fixed IP and MAC address and bill it like any other subscriber. The binding is pushed to its router, and every change is tracked until the router confirms it.

Billed like anyone

Expiry moves with payment, exactly like a PPPoE or Hotspot account.

Fixed addresses

Give a device one IP, or a range to a second address.

Confirmed on the router

Each change shows whether the router applied it, and can be retried.

Off without deleting

Disable a binding and keep its record for when the customer returns.

How it works

Bindings give a device on the network a fixed IP and MAC address, billed like any other subscriber. The binding is pushed to its router, and every change to it is recorded as an operation that can be retried if the router did not take it.

How ISPs use it

Business customers

Bill offices on a fixed IP with their own router.

CCTV and devices

Charge for cameras and terminals that cannot log in.

Wireless links

Bill point-to-point customers by the device on the other end.

Bill every device. Try it for fourteen days.

Bind cameras, office routers and point-to-point links by IP and MAC, and bill them like any subscriber.
