I have
seen wholesalers that have direct connection to Qwest, UUNet, Sprint, etc and
they also had accounting packet problems. If you ask any of those
providers they will tell you that you can down load the accounting records once
a day from one of their servers.

Regarding STOP records, there is no reason to be missing STOP
records. We also wholesale Qwest, UUNET, Aleron, Broadwing, Megapop,
O1.... and we have no issues with STOP records. It comes down to where
does your wholesaler host their radius proxies. We host in Qwest
and UUNET datacenters so there is not packet loss. If a wholesalers
hangs their radius off a DSL line in a closet, then there will be
issues. If you have your radius server not on a top-tier ISP network,
you will experience the same.
I
have seen this problem with all the wholesale networks that I have worked
with. Radius Accounting packets are not a priority to
wholesalers. They want you to have simultaneous logins and customers
stuck in radius so they can charge you more. I did some work for CISP,
who is a large wholesale aggrator for UUNet, Sprint, Qwest and about a half
a dozen others. They had to turn off simultaneous login checking and some
other features of Steele belted radius because of these issues. We
figured out that we only got 1 out of 8 watchdog packets and 1 out of 15
Stop packets.

Thing is, this seems to be a problem with a lot of wholesale
networks. Honestly, I think you will have the same problem wherever you
go. Stop packets don't seem to be a priority so to speak, in fact I think
they use UDP which means the packets are not even guaranteed to get to
their destination. Read the info on Vircom's site about Watchdog packets..
I think we tried implementing this but it did not help. It's been a while
so I don't remember if we actually did it or not. Might be worth a try. I
think the watchdog packet thing will only work if it's supported by the
NAS but don't quote me.

I remember a little while ago on this
list i seen some postings about issues
with DialUp USA and Vircom. We
appear to not be recieveing stop
packets...Causing alot of issues
with Vircom.
Is there anyone else out there having problems
proxying through DUSA? Or
any other issues with DUSA? Vircom and DUSA
don't appear to be working
good together. Does
anyone have any advice or
feedback?
