Check the Session-Timeout and Ascend-Maximum-Time Radius attributes (the
latter is only used by Ascend RAS equipment, the former is the Radius
standard). They limit the maximum connect-time (in seconds) for the
current session.
Your Radius software should keep track of the amount of time consumed by a
given user in a given month and modify the
Session-Timeout/Ascend-Maximum-Time parameters returned in response to the
Auth-Request Radius packet from the RAS.
Note that you also use the above technique if you are implementing prepaid
billing..
