(RADIATOR) radiator handling NAS-down condition?

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Jose, Hello Prakash -

Just for completeness - Radiator does indeed remove "stale" sessions  
from the session database as shown below (assuming an Accounting-On  
or and Accounting-Off is received from the NAS). However, Radiator  
does _not_ automatically generate Accounting-Stop requests for the  
sessions that are removed from the session database.

hope that helps

regards

Hugh

NB:

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive (www.open.com.au/archives/ 
radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
