[Chilli] Coova Chilli Layer 3

[Rob Campbell]

Hello,

I have been using coova-chilli 1.2.2 for about a year and a half now.
It is on a network with about 1000-1300 customers all going through a
single router running coova-chilli.  This is using the traditional
layer 2 setup.

While I was setting up this network, I ran into a problem with using
more than one block of IPs.  Since coova-chilli only has one
HS_NETWORK field, I was unable to use multiple small blocks of IPs and
ended up having to use a full /21 for the coova-chilli side of the
router.  This wasted a lot of IPs, and it cannot scale unless I can
get a /20 to assign to it next.

Now that coova-chilli support a layer 3 mode, does it still have a
limitation of only allowing a single HS_NETWORK IP block?  I would
need to be able to use IP blocks like 192.168.10.0/24, 172.16.0.0/22,
and 10.10.0.0/23.  It is my understanding that a Mikrotik Hotspot will
support this.  If coova-chilli cannot do this, is there another open
source project that does support it?

Thank you.
