Not every NAS supports sending periodic accounting updates.
This will solve your problems with opened connections. But what if
user still stays connected after link is back and his session is closed?
Answer: Traffic won't be recorded because user don't have opened
connection (session with AcctStopTime = '0000-00-00 00:00:00')
Or you update your SQL queries to reopen the session when additional
data is collected ...
The only reliable solution is to Poll the NAS everything else is just
guessing.

It's guessing from the number of 'open' sessions in your accounting
database (those without a stop time), if something goes wibble on the
NAS or infrastructure between the NAS and server, and a user
disconnects
in that period (and maximum retries are hit, all hosts exhausted etc)
then the Accounting Stop packet will be discarded by the switch
and that
session will never be recorded as closing.
Any good administration tool should include tools to query the
standard
dot1x MIB and to periodically go round and check all 'open'
sessions by
polling the NAS's and ammend the information in the database
appropriately. Isn't there even a tool / script included in the FR
distro that does this ?
