13.2 Accounting Attributes

These are attributes the NAS sends along with accounting requests. These attributes can not be used in matching rules.

13.2.1 Acct-Authentic

ATTRIBUTE Acct-Authentic 45 integer

VALUE           Acct-Authentic          RADIUS          1
VALUE           Acct-Authentic          Local           2
VALUE           Acct-Authentic          Remote          3

This attribute may be included in an Accounting-Request to indicate how the user was authenticated, whether by Radius, the NAS itself, or another remote authentication protocol. Users who are delivered service without being authenticated should not generate accounting records.

13.2.2 Acct-Delay-Time

ATTRIBUTE Acct-Delay-Time 41 integer

This attribute indicates how many seconds the client has been trying to send this record for, and can be subtracted from the time of arrival on the server to find the approximate time of the event generating this Accounting-Request. (Network transit time is ignored.)

13.2.3 Acct-Input-Octets

ATTRIBUTE Acct-Input-Octets 42 integer

This attribute indicates how many octets have been received from the port over the course of this service being provided, and can only be present in Accounting-Request records where Acct-Status-Type is set to Stop.

13.2.4 Acct-Input-Packets

ATTRIBUTE Acct-Input-Packets 47 integer

This attribute indicates how many packets have been received from the port over the course of this service being provided to a framed user, and can only be present in Accounting-Request records where Acct-Status-Type is set to Stop.

13.2.5 Acct-Output-Octets

ATTRIBUTE Acct-Output-Octets 43 integer

This attribute indicates how many octets have been sent to the port in the course of delivering this service, and can only be present in Accounting-Request records where Acct-Status-Type is set to Stop.

13.2.6 Acct-Output-Packets

ATTRIBUTE Acct-Output-Packets 48 integer

This attribute indicates how many packets have been sent to the port in the course of delivering this service to a framed user, and can only be present in Accounting-Request records where Acct-Status-Type is set to Stop.

13.2.7 Acct-Session-Id

ATTRIBUTE Acct-Session-Id 44 string

This attribute is a unique accounting ID to make it easy to match start and stop records in a log file. The start and stop records for a given session must have the same Acct-Session-Id. An Accounting-Request packet must have an Acct-Session-Id. An Access-Request packet may have an Acct-Session-Id; if it does, then the NAS must use the same Acct-Session-Id in the Accounting-Request packets for that session.

13.2.8 Acct-Session-Time

ATTRIBUTE Acct-Session-Time 46 integer

This attribute indicates how many seconds the user has received service for, and can only be present in Accounting-Request records where Acct-Status-Type is set to Stop.

13.2.9 Acct-Status-Type

ATTRIBUTE Acct-Status-Type 40 integer

VALUE    Acct-Status-Type    Start              1
VALUE    Acct-Status-Type    Stop               2 
VALUE    Acct-Status-Type    Alive              3
VALUE    Acct-Status-Type    Accounting-On      7
VALUE    Acct-Status-Type    Accounting-Off     8

This attribute indicates whether this Accounting-Request marks the beginning of the user service (Start) or the end (Stop).

It may also be used to mark the start of accounting (for example, upon booting) by specifying Accounting-On and to mark the end of accounting (for example, just before a scheduled reboot) by specifying Accounting-Off.

A special value Alive or Interim-Update indicates the packet that contains some additional data to the initial Start record or to the last Alive record.

13.2.10 Acct-Terminate-Cause

ATTRIBUTE Acct-Terminate-Cause 49 integer

VALUE    Acct-Terminate-Cause    User-Request            1
VALUE    Acct-Terminate-Cause    Lost-Carrier            2
VALUE    Acct-Terminate-Cause    Lost-Service            3
VALUE    Acct-Terminate-Cause    Idle-Timeout            4
VALUE    Acct-Terminate-Cause    Session-Timeout         5
VALUE    Acct-Terminate-Cause    Admin-Reset             6
VALUE    Acct-Terminate-Cause    Admin-Reboot            7
VALUE    Acct-Terminate-Cause    Port-Error              8
VALUE    Acct-Terminate-Cause    NAS-Error               9
VALUE    Acct-Terminate-Cause    NAS-Request             10
VALUE    Acct-Terminate-Cause    NAS-Reboot              11
VALUE    Acct-Terminate-Cause    Port-Unneeded           12
VALUE    Acct-Terminate-Cause    Port-Preempted          13
VALUE    Acct-Terminate-Cause    Port-Suspended          14
VALUE    Acct-Terminate-Cause    Service-Unavailable     15
VALUE    Acct-Terminate-Cause    Callback                16
VALUE    Acct-Terminate-Cause    User-Error              17
VALUE    Acct-Terminate-Cause    Host-Request            18

This attribute indicates how the session was terminated, and can only be present in Accounting-Request records where Acct-Status-Type is set to Stop.
