Session-Timeout Problem

[Bill Schoolfield]

I have to admit I haven't read every single email in this thread, so 
perhaps I've missed a requirement or nuance, but why do you need to use 
Session-Timeout for this? Why not use alive (also called interim) radius 
accounting records and act on them when received? That's trivial to do. 
Once the quota is reached then send a COA to the NAS to terminate the 
session. You'll also need some quota check during AA to keep a new 
session from being started. This can be done in a NAS independent kind 
of way.

When a user reaches his quota, it tells the NAS not to let him use the network. In order to be able to grant or deny access to a user, the NAS is supposed to ask FreeRADIUS at regular intervals what to with the authentication request. The only way the NAS can know about these intervals is through the "Session-Timeout" attribute. At the end of each session, the NAS sends FreeRADIUS a packet that contains data about how much bandwidth the user has consumed. FreeRADIUS commits the to a local MySQL schema, which I have programmed to update some other custom tables through triggers.
