I mean :Is it needed NAS support gigawords If I want to use gigaword for checking the amount of online user's traffic in new versions of freeradius? Or new versions of freeradius can calculate traffic amount without receiving any gigaword information from NAS?
RFC2869 says that Input and Output gigaword shoud be sent from NAS to radius server. Now new versions of freeradius support gigaword. Should NAS supports gigaword?
Some do, some don't. Most don't have it enabled by default. You will have to look into NAS documentation to find out. Ivan Kalik Kalik Informatika ISP
But NAS sends account input and output octets updates and Freeradius has the traffic volume in its database also. Can't freeradius calculate the volume and invent the gigaword itself? On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 10:58 AM, Eric <bbahar3@gmail.com> wrote:

I think youre misunderstang.... Input/Output octets is a 32 bit number. Therefore it's maximum is 4294967295 bytes. That is 4.2GB. The moment The client uses 4.29G the number will wrap to 0 again. If the client used 0.1G the NAS will tell freeradius 0.1G. If the client used 4.39G the NAS will tell freeradius 0.1G. How must free freeradius know it's 4.39G if it gets told 0.1G? It cannot know this. The NAS must tell it! (using gigawords). -- Johan Meiring Cape PC Services CC Tel: (021) 883-8271 Fax: (021) 886-7782
