There are three types of accounting packets - start, stop and alive. 
Basically an alive packet is just telling you that the connection is still up 
and it may also give you interim accounting information such as 
Acct-Session-Time, Acct-Input-Octets, Acct-Output-Octets, etc.

It is entirely a NAS configuration option.

BTW - you will find the complete description of the radius protocol in RFC's 
2865 and 2866 in the "doc" directory of the Radiator distribution (or your 
favourite RFC archive).
