Setting the Maximum Retransmitting Times of the Stop Accounting

Request

Because the stop accounting request concerns account balance, and will affect the amount to charge a customer, which is very important for both the subscribers and the ISP, NAS will make its best effort to send the message to the RADIUS accounting server.

For the primary and secondary servers, if the primary server is disconnected from NAS because of a fault, NAS will automatically turn to exchange packets with the secondary server. However, after the primary server recovers, NAS does not resume communication with the primary server immediately. Instead, it continues communicating with the secondary server. When the secondary server fails to
