I'm talking about the detail file from freeradius.

This is what I found in RFC2869

5.1.  Acct-Input-Gigawords

   Description

      This attribute indicates how many times the Acct-Input-Octets
      counter has wrapped around 2^32 over the course of this service
      being provided, and can only be present in Accounting-Request
      records where the Acct-Status-Type is set to Stop or Interim-
      Update.

So I assumed that the wrapping went @ 4GB instead of 2GB

>From RFC2866:

Value

      The Value field is four octets.

Also:

  integer  32 bit unsigned value, most significant octet first.

So its 32bit. (4GB right??)

I will use 2147483647 for now. But I can't find the definition which
says that it should be 2GB so I need to be sure.
