SSG Prepaid

SSG Prepaid

The SSG Prepaid feature allows a user to connect to a service if the user has prepaid for the service. SSG
checks a subscriber's available credit to determine whether to connect the subscriber to the service and
how long the connection can last. The billing server administers the subscriber's credit as a series of
quotas. These quotas are allotments of available credit and represent the duration of use, expressed in
seconds.
The Cisco 10000 series router does not support quotas that are based on allowable data volume. The
Note
router supports only time-based quotas.
To obtain the first quota for a connection, SSG submits an authorization request to the AAA server. The
AAA server contacts the prepaid billing server, which forwards the quota values to SSG. SSG then
monitors the connection to track the quota usage. When the quota runs out, SSG performs
reauthorization. During reauthorization, the billing server can provide SSG with an additional quota if
there is available credit. If no further quota is provided, SSG logs off the user.
