Post process the logs.

FreeRADIUS doesn't generate the accounting data, the NAS does. So there's not much you can do to FreeRADIUS to make it log the data you need.

And FreeRADIUS doesn't analyze the accounting data. It just logs them. So if you need to analyze them, you'll need another program.

Nirmal, It would appear to me that you are trying to measure I/O traffic using time, is that correct? Have you checked to see if the device you are using supports some kind of session traffic limit rather than trying to use a session time limit ? If my presumption was correct and there is no other way of doing what you want automaticaly, this may be a last resort : If your equipment provides bandwidth limiting, you may be able to use successive approximation, by using the maximum amount of traffic over a specified amount of time to determine the session time limit. You could then calculate how much traffic is left and allow the next session to connect for the ammount of time it would take to exhaust that amount of traffic. I have not looked into the specifics of how you could do this, but if you are using some kind of SQL for accounting it shouldn't be too difficult.
