(RADIATOR) Reliable Accounting?

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Doug -

I don't think anything ever came of that discussion.

However, you could fairly easily build a tunnel between the NAS and the 
Radiator host and route the radius packets across it. Kind of a band-aid 
solution though.

Note that there is a lot of work going on at present on the next generation 
AAA protocol (Diameter) that should address most of these concerns.

regards

Hugh
