I think there is some confusion going on here.
An Accounting-Stop message is an indication from the NAS that the session
has ended. It does *not* trigger a Disconnect-Request message.
A Disconnect-Request message is from the radius server to the NAS, to
forcibly disconnect them on demand.

It's something of a frig, and in my experience rarely implemented (you'd
probably be better off using SNMP to disconnect a user, or using the
Session-Timeout attribute if all you want to do is disconnect them after a
certain amount of time online)
