I did not delete anything from sites available. I just edited the IP
address and port as I previously did not modify this file.

#  This second "listen" section is for listening on the accounting
#  port, too.
#
listen {
       ipaddr = 10.0.0.1
#       ipv6addr = ::
       port = 1813
       type = acct
#       interface = eth0
#       clients = per_socket_clients

       limit {
               #  The number of packets received can be rate limited via the
               #  "max_pps" configuration item.  When it is set, the server
               #  tracks the total number of packets received in the
previous
               #  second.  If the count is greater than "max_pps", then the
               #  new packet is silently discarded.  This helps the server
               #  deal with overload situations.
               #
               #  The packets/s counter is tracked in a sliding window.
This
               #  means that the pps calculation is done for the second
               #  before the current packet was received.  NOT for the
current
               #  wall-clock second, and NOT for the previous wall-clock
second.
               #
               #  Useful values are 0 (no limit), or 100 to 10000.
               #  Values lower than 100 will likely cause the server to
ignore
               #  normal traffic.  Few systems are capable of handling more
than
               #  10K packets/s.
               #
               #  It is most useful for accounting systems.  Set it to 50%
               #  more than the normal accounting load, and you can be sure
that
               #  the server will never get overloaded
               #
#               max_pps = 0

               # Only for "proto = tcp". These are ignored for "udp"
sockets.
               #
#               idle_timeout = 0
#               lifetime = 0
#               max_connections = 0
       }
}
