Apply Exception in Accounting Packets

[Nasser Heidari]

Hello,
Is it possible to NOT count Accounting packets (Input/Output) from a
user to special destination? (I don't want to charge a PPPOE User who
downloads a file from local Network.)
I know that FreeRadius just uses the information that NAS have sent, but
want to know that does anybody has any idea?

Regards,
Nasser

This is a task that can only be done with netflow, ACL packet counters
and what not. If you are hosting the content that is meant to be free,
you can take the NAS accounting totals and subtract whatever you see
(for example) in your Apache access logs.

Depending on what you are trying to make free, it might be effectively
cheaper for your organisation to just give people a credit quota each
month (say able to download 4GB before charging begins).
