Your NAS' need support for Radius Extensions... the Interm-Accounting

Then, once this is working, you can always add a script to the
accouting section to process the limits you want to impose.<br>

Bristol have used FreeRADIUS with no problems for some time, but I
would like to alter the way that accounting is performed, but I am
unsure of how to do it.
<br>
<br>
Currently all the accounting is sent to a MySQL database. The 'radacct'
table tells me the start/stop of each session and the amount of traffic
passed in that time. However the traffic figures are only updated when
the user's session terminates. Is there a way to get up-to-date
statistics that can be polled, say, on an hourly basis?
<br>
<br>
What I'm getting at is that I want each user to have a daily/weekly/etc
traffic quota so the radius server should repeatedly check to see if it
has been exceeded. Appropriate action will be taken elsewhere is this
is exceeded.
<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any pointers? e.g. can the radius server be queried
intermittently for traffic figures? Can the radacct table be updated
hourly without forcing a disconnection?
<br>
<br>
Cheers,
<br>
Jonathan
