BNG / BRAS software for ISPs, on your own server
Dandy vBNG is a virtual Broadband Network Gateway (vBNG / vBRAS). It logs in your PPPoE and IPoE subscribers, checks them against RADIUS, shapes every plan, shares public addresses with CGNAT and records NAT logs, on a standard Intel Xeon server that you own.

Everything between the OLT and your upstream
One box takes the subscriber login, hands out addresses, enforces the plan, translates to your public pool and reports what happened.
Subscriber login
PPPoE and IPoE on ports, VLANs and VLAN ranges. RADIUS authentication, accounting and disconnect / change-of-authorization, or local users without RADIUS.
Plans and speed
Per-user download and upload speed from RADIUS, plus speed groups for IX, cache and gaming networks or ports, each with its own lane and priority.
CGNAT and logs
SNAT and DNAT with a per-user NAT session limit. NAT events go to your log servers as NetFlow v9 or IPFIX, with the subscriber's user name in each record.
Web and CLI
A command line for every setting, and a web panel with live users, traffic, NAT sessions, ports and logs. Viewer, operator and superuser web logins.
Runs on hardware you can buy anywhere
Dandy vBNG forwards in the Linux kernel with a flowtable fast path and per-user policers. No special appliance: an Intel Xeon server, Intel X520 or X710 / XL710 network cards and an SSD.
- Installs offline from one ISO: every package and NIC firmware is on the disc.
- Tunes itself: NIC rings, offloads and interrupt pinning per CPU socket, at boot and at every commit.
- PPPoE spread over all receive queues on XL710 cards (Intel DDP).
- A health check that names the problem in plain words: BIOS, NIC slot, optics, RADIUS, NAT, disk.
Install the ISO
Boot the server from USB. The installer checks the hardware, lists the network cards and installs without internet.
Set ports, RADIUS and NAT
From the CLI or the web Config tab. Every change is previewed and committed in one step.
Bring subscribers online
PPPoE or IPoE on your VLANs. show subscriber tells you why a device is not connecting.
Watch and grow
Web panel, SNMP for PRTG / Zabbix / LibreNMS, and a license that grows with your users.
