The AAA Structure
The Access Gateway’s Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) module enables
the solution provider to provision, track, and bill new or returning subscribers. This includes:

Allowing the solution provider (for example, a hotel) to bill its guests for the high
speed network services it provides, track usage on the network, and deny service to
those guests who have not paid.

Allowing the solution provider to bill subscribers for services rendered, either directly
on their hotel bill (in the hotel scenario), via a mailed invoice, or directly to the
subscriber’s credit card account.
The following illustration shows the functional relationship between the Access Gateway’s
internal modules and the external support systems.
