The BQN rate policies and the assignment of subscribers to rate policies can be performed via a REST API, which can also provide subscriber metrics. To do this, of course, the BQN must view the IP addresses of the subscriber data traffic, i.e., there cannot be a NAT between the subscribers and the BQN, because the plan limits will be applied for each IP address. It is also important for the wires to be connected correctly (i.e., for the network ports configured as access ports to be connected on the side of the subscribers).

Currently, only IPv4 addresses are supported.

The integration is between a system that controls the plan definition (e.g., a billing system) and the BQN, through the BQN management interface. The BQN acts as the REST API server. The BQN uses the management IP address (the same used by the GUI) to receive the REST messages listening on TCP port 3443 (configurable).
