  No.

  It detects duplicates using (among other things) the request authenticator.

 To be clear, if you're not implementing a RADIUS client or a RADIUS server, you have no reason to worry about this kind of detail.  Just trust that the RADIUS client and server do the right thing.

 If you are implementing a RADIUS client or a RADIUS server, go read the RFCs, and the FreeRADIUS source code.  This list is for FreeRADIUS questions.  We're not in the business of helping people write competing software.
