The login server retrieves matching identifiers from a RADIUS server and authorizes service with messages to the DHCP server and the CMTS. CMTS. In addition, subscriber authentication and accounting using RADIUS are preserved, positive network access control at the CMTS is maintained, and native IP traffic is routed or switched for maximum performance and QoS treatment.
