What happens if/when you reboot the MT? Don't you lose your
counts? I would think a better idea would be to use traffic flow
and an external NetFlow analyzer. We are working on this for
Wispmon as another way (other than radius accounting) to do usage
based billing with the product. The downside to this is that the
"Traffic Flow" stream as they call it, does not output the mac
field (even though one is available according to the NetFlow
spec). So if you are using DHCP, it becomes harder to track with
this method as you would have to constantly poll the routers to
find out what mac they are attached to. RADIUS is fairly
cumbersome too as you have to sum all the accounting sessions for
a given user over a given time period.
