for any/ internet/ services. All the free community services, like /local/ chatting within the community network, local voice over ip, etc, should not be billed. All of this traffic will flow between the local network on a class B range. Is it possible to exclude this range from accounting on the radius system and only do accounting for any other ip address (to only bill actual internet traffic) ?
This is not a radius issue / feature. Your network devices will have to be able to differentiate local versus internet traffic for you. If they can, they *may* be able to just put the internet counter values in radius accounting packets, but I don't know of any NAS that does. Radius accounting packets just contain a single one-dimensional list of packets/bytes in/out. What your NAS puts in them is a NAS issue. If you're assigning fixed IPs, you might look at netflow. Packets like "ipfm" and similar can be used to monitor traffic by IP from a port mirror. All depends on your network architecture.
