My opinion,if the NAS doesn't send packet to radius server,there maybe 2
conditions:
1.NAS is down,doesn't work ,usrs disconnect to internet. we can
check NAS status every x mins, if down, write current time as all usrs'
accouting stop time.
2.The traffic is too heavy. and UDP packet lost . but basicaly i
don't think this will happen, because the line between NAS and RADIUS server
should be strong and sometimes almost only radius packet are transporting on
it. If this condition happens, ISP could not avoid loss some money ^_^; so
buy a powerful NAS which fit your tracfic.
Regards.

Thank you very much, but this doesn't answer to my question. If the NAS does
not send accounting info, how could I determine how much a user was logged
in ? I am not curious about workarounds, just want to know if is anything I
can do at freeradius level.
Thank you very much!
