Hi all,<br><br>I set up a FreeRadius server to receive accounting start/stop packet from GGSN. Then FreeRadius will save the information into MySQL database. However, I see that there is a different between the number of received packets and the Radius response to GGSN<br>
<br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">[root@radiusd2 sbin]# ./radmin -e &quot;stats client acct&quot;</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">

<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">        unknown_types   0</span><br><br>I understand that if GGSN sends an accounting start packet to Radius, it should make a corespondent response or GGSN will resend the packet. So I don&#39;t know why there is such a difference. Meanwhile, radius.log is filled with a lot of messages like those:<br>
