(RADIATOR) Internal Session Database

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Geoffrey -

The Radiator session database (internal or external) tries to be 
"self-healing", which is why a "Delete" is done when any new access 
request is received, using the NAS/NAS-Port combination. All existing 
sessions for a NAS are removed automatically when an "Accounting-On" is 
received, indicating that the NAS has restarted (there are also some 
other conditions - check the code for details).

It isn't really possible to do much with the internal session database, 
and the information is only relevant for a particular running instance 
of Radiator. If you want external visibility and persistence, you 
should use an SQL database.

regards

Hugh
