Proper use of Mikrotik-Xmit-Limit-Gigawords

[Kwesi Yankson]

Hi Alan,
The thing is that, I once tried using Mikrotik-Xmit-Limit as a reply attribute.  When I did this, the client kept having the same amount of data left at every login. It was as if the attribute was not being updated.  However, when I used Mikrotik-Xmit-Limit as a check attribute, the user's data was updated and subtracted as it should. They got no access after using up their data.  I don't know if this experience has been reported before.  What do you make of it?

  Yes.  In simpler terms:

Limit = X GB

  Mikrotik-Xmit-Limit-Gigawords = X / 4GB

  Mikrotik-Xmit-Limit = X - (Mikrotik-Xmit-Limit-Gigawords * 4GB)

  No.  They're both reply attributes.  You need to send both to the NAS
in order for the limit to be enforced.
