What happens if/when you reboot the MT? Don't you lose your counts? I would think a better idea would be to use traffic flow and an external NetFlow analyzer. We are working on this for Wispmon as another way (other than radius accounting) to do usage based billing with the product. The downside to this is that the "Traffic Flow" stream as they call it, does not output the mac field (even though one is available according to the NetFlow spec). So if you are using DHCP, it becomes harder to track with this method as you would have to constantly poll the routers to find out what mac they are attached to. RADIUS is fairly cumbersome too as you have to sum all the accounting sessions for a given user over a given time period.
