[RADIATOR] Alive and Stop packet in billing

[Alex Nderitu]

Dear All,
I have entries in my ACCOUNTING table with repeated entries as follows.
Does this affect billing, if billing is done by summing
up ACCTINPUTOCTETS and ACCTOUTPUTOCTETS subtracted from specific
TOTALOCTETS_ALLOC.

mysql> select
USERNAME,TIME_STAMP,ACCTSTATUSTYPE,ACCTINPUTOCTETS,ACCTOUTPUTOCTETS from
ACCOUNTING where USERNAME='xxxxx';

| xxxxx     | 1214577905 | Alive          |         3802682 |
11626314 | 
| xxxxx     | 1214578440 | Stop           |         3802682 |
11627030 | 
| xxxxx     | 1214578440 | Stop           |         3802682 |
11627030 | 
| xxxxx     | 1214578440 | Stop           |         3802682 |
11627030 | 

 Does the Alive packet also affect billing since it has the same
ACCTINPUTOCTETS as the Stop packet? 

Am currently running Radiator 4.2 and mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.45.
