IPoE BNG · Community EditionFree · Alpha
The IPoE BNG for operators big vendors priced out.
Roughly 65,000 small ISPs and WISPs run real networks the major BNG vendors will not price for. Quantum IPoE gives them a carrier-grade L3 subscriber edge on a single commodity server.
Their alternatives today: integration-heavy open source that has to be assembled and maintained, or a low-end BNG router that delivers “just good enough” compromises.
- One commodity x86 server
- AAA · DHCP · DNS · captive portal, in the box
- No command line required

A complete IPoE BNG platform — an ISP in a box
A subscriber edge is normally assembled: a forwarding box here, a RADIUS server there, DHCP somewhere else, a captive portal bolted on, and a billing export that someone wrote once and nobody wants to touch.
Quantum IPoE ships the whole thing as one integrated platform on a single commodity x86 server. Every piece below is in the box on day one — nothing to source, integrate, or license separately.
- Line-rate L3 forwarding — DPDK data plane, every subscriber at wire speed
- Unified AAA, DHCP and DNS — no separate RADIUS server required
- Captive portal — onboarding and prepaid expiry handled in-platform
- Per-subscriber QoS policing — RFC 2698 green / yellow / red
- Usage counters that reconcile — accounting you can bill from
Management plane
A single pane of glass for the whole platform
QuantumTouch IPoE is a graphical interface to every part of the platform. Not a status dashboard with a terminal hiding behind it — the console is how the box is actually run.
- Configuration — interfaces, pools, plans and policy, from a guided wizard on a bare install
- Operations — start, stop, restart and health, with snapshots you can roll back to
- Subscriber provisioning — add, suspend, change plan, and expire, one subscriber or in bulk
- Analytics — live throughput and policing behaviour, refreshed every five seconds
- Session accounting — per-subscriber usage records, exportable for billing
Community Edition
Free for operators under 5,000 sessions
Roughly 65,000 small ISPs and WISPs run networks that never needed carrier-scale pricing. The Community Edition is sized for them — and it runs the same core IPoE code as the commercial editions. Scale is what separates the two, not capability.
Community Edition
- Free — no licence key, no sales call
- Up to 5,000 active IPoE sessions
- Runs on one commodity x86 server
- The same code base as the commercial editions
- Full documentation library, published and ungated
- Community support
Commercial Editions
- Hundreds of thousands of active IPoE sessions
- Up to 500G of throughput
- Identical core code — session handling, accounting, analytics
- Commercial support and response commitments
Same code. Different scale.
The core IPoE functionality is the same code in both editions. How a session is created over DHCP and authorised through AAA, how accounting records are written, how analytics are computed — all identical. The Community Edition is not a reduced build of the product.
What changes is scale. The Community Edition serves up to 5,000 active IPoE sessions. The commercial editions scale to hundreds of thousands of sessions and up to 500G of throughput.
Foundation
Built on the Quantum Framework
The Quantum Framework is BlueDot’s core packet-processing technology, shared across every application we build. A Platform is that framework extended with application code and the services one specific application needs. For IPoE, those services are what turn a forwarding engine into a subscriber edge.
Quantum Framework — core technology
Shared components
- QuantumBNG — subscriber-edge component
- QuantumTouch — management & telemetry component
- Quantum Controller — runtime pipeline and rule insertion
The same foundation OEMs license to build their own forwarding-plane products.
Quantum IPoE BNG Platform
Extended code
- QuantumBNG IPoE — extended for IPoE forwarding
- QuantumTouch IPoE — extended for subscriber operations
Application services
- AAA — standalone, no external RADIUS required
- DHCP and DNS — subscriber addressing and resolution
- Captive portal — onboarding and prepaid expiry
- Session accounting — usage records you can bill from
What you download as the Quantum IPoE BNG.
Every project starts from a proven architecture and a shared, field-tested code base — cutting application development by 50 to 60%. Everything beneath the IPoE line — control plane, management API, persistent state, audit log, telemetry stack — is production code already shipping in other BlueDot products. Only the IPoE-specific layer had to be built.
How we build
AI-native process, decades of domain experience
Carrier networking is unforgiving, and most platforms in this space carry twenty years of accumulated compromise. Quantum IPoE was written from a clean sheet by the BlueDot founders, who have over three decades of experience building this kind of system — with AI as a full partner in every key process, not a code-completion widget.
Code
A clean-sheet code base built in the AI era, reviewed continuously rather than in occasional audits.
Testing
Generated and maintained coverage across the session lifecycle, exercised on every change rather than before releases.
Documentation
Theory of operations, quick starts, operator guides and release notes — written alongside the code, not months behind it.
Support
Diagnostics and answers grounded in the same published material an operator reads, so support and documentation never diverge.
Our Quantum IPoE environment is a new code base developed in the AI era; we’re not trying to maintain and extend a 20-year-old platform.

Community Edition, no licence key, no sales call. Fifteen minutes in a VM, or about thirty on a server you already own.
