I've noted the RFCs list the following:<br><br>From PROXY section 2.1<br><pre> <i>A forwarding server may either perform its forwarding function in a<br> pass through manner, where it sends retransmissions on as soon as it<br> gets them, or it may take responsibility for retransmissions, for<br> example in cases where the network link between forwarding and remote<br> server has very different characteristics than the link between NAS<br> and forwarding server.<br><br> Extreme care should be used when implementing a proxy server that<br> takes responsibility for retransmissions so that its retransmission<br> policy is robust and scalable.<br></i><br>So my question is:<br>Does FreeRadius have built in support for taking responsibility of Accounting retransmission? <br><br>I currently proxy to an upstream vendor on the off-chance my customers use their services while connected to a servicing NAS. Accounting turn-around with them is not robust so a NAS gener!
ates a truck load of duplicates then wonders why the accounting server hasn't responded. Optimally, my own Server would reply and then generate a new accounting record for my upstream vendor. Also, with the current setup, if the upstream vendor goes offline, my NAS will continue duplicating accounting records until timeout.<br><br>I don't control all the connecting NASes so I can't tell them to wait longer. Overall, it seems simpler to cut the upstream vendor out of the middle of my accounting stream.<br><br>Thoughts and comments are appreciated!<br>-Benjamin</pre> <br /><hr />Hotmail: posta elettronica attendibile grazie alla protezione avanzata Microsoft dalla posta indesiderata. <a href='https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969' target='_new'>Iscriviti subito.</a></body>
