Description:
Radius plugin in ppp sends incorrect accounting data to radius server. This bug is caused because of lack of support for RFC 2869 attributes Acct-Input-Gigawords and Acct-Output-Gigawords

Symptoms:
Traffic counters sent to radius server wrap at every 4GB. For example a 17GB session wil be reported as a 1GB session.

p.s. I posted this message on pppoe forum because radius plugin in ppp is made by Roaring penguin so this seemed to be the right place
