It's guessing from the number of 'open' sessions in your accounting 
database (those without a stop time), if something goes wibble on the 
NAS or infrastructure between the NAS and server, and a user disconnects 
in that period (and maximum retries are hit, all hosts exhausted etc) 
then the Accounting Stop packet will be discarded by the switch and that 
session will never be recorded as closing.

Any good administration tool should include tools to query the standard 
dot1x MIB and to periodically go round and check all 'open' sessions by 
polling the NAS's and ammend the information in the database 
appropriately. Isn't there even a tool / script included in the FR 
distro that does this ?
