Account Status Type has four values: Accounting On,

 

Accounting Off, Start and Stop.

 

An Accounting On message is sent when the Prestige starts the

 

RADIUS Accounting service. An Accounting Off message is sent

 

when the Prestige ends the service.

 

A Start message is sent when a user session begins. A Stop

 

message is sent when the session ends.

Acct-Session-Id

session to make it easy to match the Start and Stop records in a

and Stop record, indicating that these records correspond to the

 

same session.
