Update using the Accounting Reply.

All my business logic is inside a perl script using rpm_perl.
(It's basically the only freeradius module I invoke).

I simply update the reply...
$RAD_REPLY{'ChilliSpot-Max-Total-Octets'} = $balancecap;

When you calculate a new "cap" just remember to exclude the current 
sessions traffic.

E.g. Client starts with 100MB and two sessions A and B
A used 20MB so far and B used 30MB.
When you send a new cap to Session A, you need to send 70MB,
i.e. 100MB - Sessions B's usage.
