(RADIATOR) Reliable accounting?

[julio.prada at bt.es]

Hello Mike,

We have serious problems with acct. requests that are lost.

Actually we use scripts made by us to check really-used ports and delete
incorrect entries in RADONLINE table.

The frequency of the executions of these scripts is high. And they use
radpwtst to correct bad entries in RADONLINE. So extra traffic is generated
to maintain a reliable information about accounting.

We are the carrier and we're very interested in solving this problem. So if
you want, we could collaborate in testing any development about this theme
in our laboratory as a 'friendly customer'.

regards,
jules

Hello all,

As we all know, the Radius protocol permits accounting records to be lost
when
network packet losses are serious.

We are working with a third party on the possibility of reliable Radius UDP
delivery for accounting.

So I am wondering if there are people who are being badly affected by this?
How
bad a problem is it for you? Is the packet loss in carrier network you dont
control, or in your own?

Reply to me off-list if you prefer.

Cheers.
