Feature request: PPPoE Server one-session-per-user

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

First of all I’m pretty new to Mikrotik.
I want to replace my old custom made pppoe access concentrator for Mikrotik RouterOS, but there is only one feature that make me think before this replace.

I saw that Mikrotik have an option called “one-session-per-host” which avoid the same MAC address to open more then one connection. But what I need is much like a one-session-per-user … dropping an old connection (and closing the radius session) if a new one is established with the same username.

I also know that I can use the radius attribute Simultaneous-Use to limit this, but this attribute caused me alot of troubles in past.

Can Mikrotik developers consider adding this feature in a near future?

When RADIUS server is used, you should set RADIUS server to perform request feature.
RouterOS provides with the option,

ppp profile set default-encryption only-one=yes

which is the same, but it does not work, when RADIUS server is used.

normally if you don’t hand a radius value determining such a function the router-OS value should work fine, however I’ve only had experiance in passing such variables back for hotspot logins

eg: handing a rate-limit value back from the radius server will override any rate limit value set in the local mikrotik user profile
