traffic based accounting info

[Antonio Mancuso]

I am using pppd as "NAS" with the radius.so plugin.

what do you think about this idea:

I'll modify the kernel in order to add more statistics on the ppp interface 
(like #bytes per protocol or similar) and when the radius.so plugin
ask the kernel for ppp statistics it will have all the needed information.
At this time I think it can pass all the info to radius for accounting.

does this idea sound correct to you?
it can be of interest of other people on this list?

Thnks,
Antonio
