Hello Pascal,

the NAS should be sending Acct-Input-Gigawords and
Acct-Output-Gigawords.  This is how the 32bit limit of
Acct-Input/Output-Octets is usually handled.

Please see this for more:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2869#section-5.1

There might be 64bit counters in vendor specific attributes, but the
above should be most commonly supported.

Thanks,
Heikki
