Interim Accounting Updates
The HSG parses the attribute Acct-Interim-Interval in an Access-Accept. If this
attribute is present the HSG tries every [Acct-Interim-Interval] seconds to send a
Radius Accounting Interim message for the specific subscriber. If this attribute is not
present or equal to 0, no Interim message is sent.
The precision is 2 minutes. The HSG will not send Interim messages more frequently
than every 2 minutes.
Called-Station-ID
This is the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the HSG.
Calling-Station-ID
This is the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the client's computer.
New Attributes in Acct-Request
The HSG has to send the following attributes in an Accounting-Stop:
z Acct-Output-Packets: number of packets sent by subscriber.
z Acct-Input-Packets: number of packets received by subscriber.
Upon a reboot, these 2 attributes are saved in currfile.dat the same way as for Acct-
Input-Octets and Acct-Input-Octets.
