Delay Time - The time delay (in seconds) since the AccountingRequest packet was sent and the

on the server to find the approximate time of the event generating this AccountingRequest. Note
that this does not reflect network delays. The first attempt will have this parameter set to 0.

Timestamp - The number of seconds since 1970-01-01. Used to set a timestamp when this
packet was sent from NetDefendOS.

NAS IP Address - The IP address of the D-Link Firewall.

How Authenticated - How the user was authenticated. This is set to either RADIUS if the user
was authenticated via RADIUS, or LOCAL if the user was authenticated via a local user
database.

Delay Time - See the above comment about this parameter.

Timestamp - The number of seconds since 1970-01-01. Used to set a timestamp when this
packet was sent from the D-Link Firewall. In addition to this, two more attributes are possibly
sent:

Input Gigawords - Indicates how many times the Input Bytes counter has wrapped. This is only
sent if Input Bytes has wrapped, and if the Input Bytes attribute is sent.

Output Gigawords - Indicates how many times the Output Bytes counter has wrapped. This is
only sent if Output Bytes has wrapped, and if the Output Bytes attribute is sent.

Note

The (*) symbol in the above list indicates that the sending of the parameter is user
