Eric,
NASs send Input/Output octets as an incremental value. So if you lose a
few update packets, you do not lose usage values.
Since the number will wrap at the unsigned long boundary of 4GB, the
NAS is supposed to keep a tab on how many times has the wrap around
occurred since the session started.
As you can see, this is clearly the job of the NAS, and not of the
RADIUS server.

freeradius calculate the volume and invent the gigaword itself?

Or new versions of freeradius can calculate traffic amount without receiving
any gigaword information from NAS?

Some do, some don't. Most don't have it enabled by default. You will have
to look into NAS documentation to find out.
