Hey Saeed,
daloRADIUS will introduce in the next version (0.9-8) a better billing system with rates supported, though
currently the rates are flat (i.e: all session is taken into account and not devided per the time of day) but
if you have suggestions for improvements we can take this into account.
I don't think there's a place for any special time counter except for the basic ones because the time remains
the same. Meaning, the user buys a 10 hours package, the fact that you devide this time line into different
costs is not dependant upon the time itself, it will remain a 10 hours time, but you will charge the user differently
based on the time he logged-on.
So like I said, maybe we can discuss this more (probably on the dalo m-l) and see if we can fit in your idea
for the next release.
Regards,
Liran.

Hi all,
I want to ask that if there is some kind of flexibility in freeradius to have time based billing. I want a customer to be charged at different rate at different time. Like I want to introduce a package which has different rate at morning eg. $1/hr from 0800 to 1200 then 0.5/hr from 1200 to 1800 then 0.25/hr from 1800 to 0800hrs. Now what should I do. I know that there are sqlcounters but these are for flat rates.
Now is there any flexibility to do so. And if not then is there any plugable module available by which i could achieve this. I'll be thankful for your help
Regards,
Saeed Akhtar
