+ | # Managing subscribers | ||
+ | When you're an ISP offering access to the Internet, you need to keep track of a number of things. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Which address space is assigned to who. | ||
+ | * Forward DNS entries, reverse DNS entries with possible delegation. | ||
+ | * Per-customer consumed bandwidth. | ||
+ | * Payment history, in case it's not fully automated already. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Don't forget that subscribers may wish to view/change information themselves (bandwidth graph, DNS delegation, etc). | ||
