  • Secure system and method for providing a robust radius accounting server

The method includes identifying for the RADIUS server, the agent as a RADIUS client of the RADIUS server, polling from the agent all the NAS identified in said RADIUS server and, if no answer is received from at least one NAS, sending from the agent a RADIUS stop accounting request to the RADIUS server for all the sessions established by each non-responding NAS.
