Quota in DCCA

[Iliya Peregoudov]

DCCA is the Diameter Credit-Control Application (RFC 4006). Freeradius 
does not support Diameter protocol. So you just can't pass Diameter AVPs 
(Grouped or whatever) using RADIUS attributes.

But realy you do not need to. GGSN should use RADIUS for AAA purposes 
(e.g., authentication, access authorization, maybe address allocation, 
and session accounting). As part of successful authorization RADIUS 
server should tell GGSN to turn on credit-control for the session. For 
example,  RADIUS server can return credit-control server 
address/name/realm to GGSN in Access-Accept.

After successful authorization GGSN will use Diameter CCA toward 
credit-control.
