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.
