Definition

 

 

Round Trip Time

The time interval between the most recent Accounting-Response and the Accounting-

 

Request that matched it from this RADIUS accounting server.

PendingRequests

The number of RADIUS Accounting-Request packets sent to this server that have not yet

 

timed out or received a response. This variable is incremented when an accounting-Request

 

is sent and decremented due to receipt of an Accounting-Response, a timeout or a retrans-

 

mission.

Retransmissions

The number of RADIUS Accounting-Request packets retransmitted to this RADIUS

 

accounting server. Retransmissions include retries where the Identifier and Acct-Delay have

 

been updated, as well as those in which they remain the same.

Timeouts

The number of accounting timeouts to this server. After a timeout the client may retry to the

 

same server, send to a different server, or give up. A retry to the same server is counted as

 

a retransmit as well as a timeout. A send to a different server is counted as an Accounting-

 

Request as well as a timeout.

Malformed packets include packets with an invalid length. Bad authenticators and unknown

 

types are not included as malformed accounting responses.

tors received from this server.

Unknown Types

the accounting port.

Packets Dropped

missions.
