RADIUS Accounting – No RADIUS Accounting for Particular Server

accountingfirewalljuniperpppoeradius

We have a VoD server that's directly connected to Juniper MX104 BNG. Juniper MX104 is also acting as a BRAS. Right now if any user accesses that VoD server, all the incoming and outgoing traffic is added to the user's accounting details, however, for this particular VoD server we don't want the data to be added in user's monthly allowed quota.
Please advice how can we get this mechanism.

Thank you.

You need to use Juniper's Per-Service Session Accounting.

In a nutshell, this involves defining services using a firewall filter, applying those services per subscriber, then the MX will send independent RADIUS Accounting updates for each service per subscriber.

In your case, you would define a VoD or generic unmetered service, with an firewall filter matching your VoD server and any other local resources you don't wish to count, and then apply this as a service to each of your subscribers.

You would then have a second service applied covering all other traffic, and this is what you would actually count.
