What is Radius in telecommunication domain?

RADIUS stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service 

  • it is a client/server security protocol
  • used for control user authentication
  • used for monitoring and control user profiles such as service package, speed, user groups, IP, session time
  • records internet user accounting - session time, connection start/stop, bandwidth usage included the reason for connection ending
  • used for real-time controlling online users - clear session, restrict authentication
  • the clients will connect to the Network Access Server (NAS) as medium server for authentication instead of directly communicating with the RADIUS
