Hi Alan, In my actual deployment I have Radius client, RADIUS proxy and RADIUS Server.
Accounting-Request is originated form Radius client after success-full authentication. Accounting request authenticator is generated using RADIUS proxy secret in RADIUS client. RADIUS proxy functionality is to forward Accounting request to Remote Accounting server. While doing proxy functionality Accounting-Request authenticator is re-calculated using Remote Accounting server secret and updates he request with re-calculated value and the request is posted to remote end. Please tell me whether my understanding about Accounting-Request authenticator and secret is correct.

There is no "NAS" secret and "accounting" secret. There may be different secrets for authentication and accounting, but the NAS will send both packets.
