CPE throughput

[Dan Morphis]

This will not be possible without modifying the GUI to request a refresh of
the parameter for the device. Then you would need to re-render the page.
The GenieACS GUI does not use AJAX/client side templates (instead using
TurboLinks to try and get most of the performance benefits of ajax) so the
page would need to be re-rendered by the rails server. Unless you added
that ability to your modified GUI code.

Another approach you can take is to integrate GenieACS into your subscriber
mgmt platform. Then do the parameter refresh calls from your platform to
the NBI. This is what we do. Everything in the "Modem" portion is pulled
from GenieACS indirectly. Our SMS GUI makes service calls to our subscriber
mgmt system backend, which then makes calls to the ACS and returns the data
to the client. Yes it would be more efficient to have the SMS GUI make the
calls to the NBI, but I don't allow that for two reasons. The first, and
biggest reason is security. I want to do sanitization/permission checking
before sending the requests to the NBI. And the other big reason is our ACS
server and modem mgmt network lives in the 172.16.0.0/16 range and damn
near everything else is firewalled off from that space :).

So that its more clear to people, our modems have two interfaces on them.
The PPPoE interface that customer traffic goes over, and a private IPoE
interface that all CPE management is done over. This allows us to things
like switch a CPE from routed to bridge mode and back without having the
customer have to factory default the CPE so the CPE can be remotely
managed. We can also disable the WANIPConnection or WANPPPConnection
instance to disable customer internet access without interfering with our
ability to perform CPE mgmt.
