I have read that the PortMasters use an eight-digit uppercase hexidecimal
number as the 'Acct-Session-Id' attribute for RADIUS requests where the
'Acct-Status-Type' is equal to 'Start' or 'Stop' (the first two digits
being the reboot count, and the last six digits counting sessions since reboot).
My question is: what sort of 'Acct-Session-Id' formatting should I expect
to see from requests where the 'Acct-Status-Type' is equal to
'Accounting-On' or 'Accounting-Off'? Is it still an eight-digit
hexidecimal number, and if so, what do the digits represent (it would
seem that a session count doesn't really correspond to on/off
transactions)?
