1. Server unresponsive, in which case NAS buffers
and re-transmits (look at Acct-Delay-Time attribute),
2. Networking delay,
3. Multiple servers (remember that the NAS has a primary and
the secondary accounting servers configured). If it sends
the session start packet to one and the session stop packet
to the other and the servers' clocks are not synchronized
you will see this behavior.
