====== RADIUS Attributes ======
{{indexmenu_n>1}}
FastPCRF transmits the following attributes in Accounting-Request:
''VasExperts-L2-SubsId'' – L2-subscriber identifier.
''Framed-IP-Address'' – (IPv4 only) subscriber’s IPv4 address; for NAT 1:1 the value of this attribute can be [[en:dpi:bras_bng:radius_integration:radius_accounting:radius_attr:framed_ip_address|configured]].
''Framed-IPv6-Prefix'' – (IPv6 only) subscriber’s IPv6 subnet prefix.
''Framed-IPv6-Address'' – (IPv6 only) subscriber’s IPv6 address. Only the higher bits of the address, as defined by the IPv6 prefix, are significant. For example, for prefix 2001:1::/64 the value of this attribute will be 2001:1::.
''Delegated-IPv6-Prefix'' – (IPv6 only) PD-prefix assigned to the subscriber.
''Acct-Session-Id'' – RADIUS accounting session identifier.
''Acct-Status-Type'' – request type:
* [1] start – beginning of the accounting session. No statistics are transmitted in this request, only the session Id is announced.
* [2] stop – termination of the accounting session. This request carries the final session statistics.
* [3] interim-update – intermediate statistics.
''Acct-Delay-Time'' – timeout in seconds between receiving the latest billing netflow statistics from fastdpi and sending this Accounting-Request. In practice, this is a measure of data “staleness.”
''Acct-Session-Time'' – session duration in seconds. The attribute is added to interim update and stop packets.
''Event-Timestamp'' – [SSG 8.3] current time.
''Class'' – if there is a Class attribute in Access-Accept/Access-Reject during authorization, it is transmitted in all accounting requests.
''NAS-IP-Address'', ''NAS-Identifier'' – IP address or identifier of the fastDPI server that originated this session. Taken from the [[en:dpi:bras_bng:radius_integration:radius_auth_fastpcrf_setup|fdpi_server]] setting.
[SSG 8.3] With the support of [[en:dpi:bras_bng:radius_integration:radius_accounting:multisession|multi-sessions]], the following attributes were added:
''Acct-Multi-Session-Id'' – identifier of the multi-session to which this session belongs.
''Acct-Link-Count'' – number of Start events in this multi-session. Note that this is not the number of active sessions, but the number of Start events in the multi-session, i.e., how many sessions were created in the multi-session since its beginning.
''VASExperts-Service-Type'' – authorization type. Possible values:
* ''0'' (''Auth'' in ''dictionary.vasexperts'') – L3 authorization — a type of authorization where the client has statically configured on its equipment an IP address designated as “local” and requests Internet access.
* ''1'' (''DHCP'') – DHCP authorization — authorization is initiated when the SSG system receives a DHCP Request from the client.
* ''2'' (''PAP'') – PAP authorization — authorization using the PAP (Password Authentication Protocol), which is the first authentication protocol for PPP connections.
* ''3'' (''CHAP'') – CHAP authorization — authorization using the CHAP (Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol), a challenge-response authentication protocol for PPP connections.
* ''4'' (''MS_CHAPv2'') – MS-CHAPv2 authorization — authorization using the MS-CHAPv2 (Microsoft CHAP Version 2) protocol, which is an improved and more secure version of CHAP for PPP connections.
* ''6'' (''ARP'') – ARP authorization — a type of authorization where the system processes an ARP request from the client to the gateway.\\ :!: The use of this type is not recommended. For details, see [[en:dpi:bras_bng:bras_l2_vlan:bras_l2_vlan_arp_proxy:bras_l2_vlan_arp_auth]].
* ''7'' (''DHCPv6'') – DHCPv6 authorization — authorization is initiated when the SSG system receives a DHCPv6 Solicit request from the client.
* ''8'' (''GTP_auth'') – GTP authorization — the SSG system processes GTP-C packets. Upon successful GTP session start, BRAS sends an L3 authorization request to the PCRF node.
* ''9'' (''DHCP-Dual'') – DHCP-Dual authorization — Access-Request from SSG is always sent either by IPv4 or by IPv6 address, but the response (Access-Accept) may contain addresses of both IP stacks (IPv4 and IPv6).
Values 2, 3, 4 are used for PPPoE. When using one of these authorization types, it is recommended to specify all three for proxying on the PPPoE server.
Accounting data, defined in [[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2866|RFC-2866]], is transmitted only for Acct-Status-Type=2 or 3:
* ''Acct-Input-Packets'' – number of packets to the subscriber (inet -> subs direction).
* ''Acct-Output-Packets'' – number of packets from the subscriber (subs -> inet direction).
* ''Acct-Input-Octets'' – number of bytes to the subscriber (inet -> subs direction).
* ''Acct-Output-Octets'' – number of bytes from the subscriber (subs -> inet direction).
* ''Acct-Input-Gigawords'' ([[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2869|RFC-2869]]).
* ''Acct-Output-Gigawords'' ([[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2869|RFC-2869]]).
In SSG 9.5.3, the following 64-bit VSA counters were also added:
# number of bytes to the subscriber (inet -> subs direction)
ATTRIBUTE VasExperts-Acct-Input-Octets-64 22 integer64
# number of bytes from the subscriber (subs -> inet direction)
ATTRIBUTE VasExperts-Acct-Output-Octets-64 23 integer64
# number of packets to the subscriber (inet -> subs direction)
ATTRIBUTE VasExperts-Acct-Input-Packets-64 24 integer64
# number of packets from the subscriber (subs -> inet direction)
ATTRIBUTE VasExperts-Acct-Output-Packets-64 25 integer64
These counters are fully equivalent to the standard 32-bit ones and are transmitted along with them. The use of 64-bit counters slightly simplifies logic on the RADIUS side: there is no need to calculate 64-bit values from 32-bit attributes ''Acct-Input/Output-Octets'' and ''Acct-Input/Output-Gigawords''.
Additionally, statistics on [[en:dpi:dpi_options:use_cases:qs_rateplans|traffic classes]] cs0 - cs7 are transmitted in vendor-specific attributes (VSA).
The following VSAs are defined for vendor-id=43823:
ATTRIBUTE VasExperts-Acct-Traffic-Class-Name 16 string
ATTRIBUTE VasExperts-Acct-Traffic-Class-Input-Octets 17 integer64
ATTRIBUTE VasExperts-Acct-Traffic-Class-Output-Octets 18 integer64
ATTRIBUTE VasExperts-Acct-Traffic-Class-Input-Packets 19 integer64
ATTRIBUTE VasExperts-Acct-Traffic-Class-Output-Packets 20 integer64
Here, ''VasExperts-Acct-Traffic-Class-Name'' is the traffic class name, "cs0", "cs1", ..., "cs7"; the other attributes contain statistics for this traffic class.
[SSG 8.3] Using the fastpcrf.conf settings, you can specify which traffic classes to include in overall accounting, as well as disable sending accounting by traffic classes (VasExperts-Acct-Traffic-Class-* attributes):
* ''acct_disable_traffic_class'' – setting this parameter to 1 disables sending traffic class breakdowns in Acct-Request. By default, traffic class statistics are sent.
* ''acct_include_traffic_class'' – allows specifying a list of traffic classes to include in accounting. By default, all traffic classes cs0 - cs7 are included in accounting. In this parameter, you can list, separated by commas, which traffic classes to include in accounting. Standard counters (Acct-Input/Output-Packets and Acct-Input/Output-Octets) will then contain only the sum of the specified classes. For example, to exclude class cs2 from accounting, set:
acct_include_traffic_class=cs0,cs1,cs3,cs4,cs5,cs6,cs7
**Example** packet (only the first two traffic class statistics entries are expanded):
