Hello Cory -


Radiator simply transcribes what is reported in the radius accounting request by the NAS (check a trace 4 debug to verify)

It may simply be that the Cisco is counting *all* of the octets traversing the interface including TCP headers, IP headers and PPP headers, etc., etc. In other words all of the overhead as well as the payload.

You should check with Cisco to ascertain exactly what the counters comprise. There could also be a bug of course.

regards

Hugh

Hi,

I am running Radiator 2.16.3 with a Cisco 2611 running IOS 12.1(5)T9 running
as our NAS. I have been doing some billing tests and found that the
accounting figure acct-output-octets appears to be nearly double the amount
in bytes of what I was expecting. Below is the STOP record received in our
radius logs:


        Acct-Status-Type = Stop
        Acct-Input-Octets = 1524178
        Acct-Output-Octets = 155369608
        Acct-Input-Packets = 29704
        Acct-Output-Packets = 103634
        Acct-Session-Time = 2395
        Acct-Delay-Time = 0

On my test user I downloaded approx 74MB but the radius logs suggest I have
downloaded 148MB of data. The Acct-Input-Packets appears to be roughly
correct.


Has anyone else run into this problem or noticed a discrepancy in values
reported by radiator?


Thanks
Cory.
