(RADIATOR) Duplicated Accounting Records in SQL

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Mark -

This can be due to congested links, incorrect configuration files, or NAS 
bugs. The presence of the Acct-Delay-Time attribute does indeed indicate an 
accounting retransmission, but the only way to tell what is going on is by 
looking at the configuration file, a trace 4 debug from Radiator and possibly 
a snoop/tcpdump/sniffer log of what is actually on the wire.
