  Your English is fine.

  The radacct table is for accounting packets.

  If the user is authenticated (i.e. FreeRADIUS sends an Access-Accept), that does NOT mean the user is on the network.  Therefore, there are no changes to the radacct table made at that time.

  After the NAS finally *receives* the Access-Accept, and then lets the user on the network.... that's when the user is on the network.

  The NAS *should* send an Accounting-Request packet, which tells FreeRADIUS that the user is actually on the network.  At that point, FreeRADIUS updates the radacct table.

  If the NAS isn't sending Accounting-Request packets, change the NAS configuration to make it send those packets.

  If the NAS can't send Accounting-Request packets, throw it in the garbage, and replace it with a NAS that does send Accounting-Request packets.
