The Accounting Monitoring table displays for each of the Accounting Servers the following counters:

Requests

The number of RADIUS Accounting-Request packets sent to this server. This does not include retransmissions.

Bad Authenticators

The number of RADIUS Accounting-Response packets containing invalid authenticators received from this server.

Pending Requests

The number of RADIUS Accounting-Request packets sent to this server that have not yet timed out or received a response. This counter is incremented when an Accounting-Request is sent and decremented due to receipt of an Accounting-Response, a timeout or retransmission.

Timeouts

The number of accounting timeouts to this server. After a timeout the client may retry the same server, send to a different server, or give up. A retry to the same server is counted as a retransmit as well as a timeout. A send to a different server is counted as an Accounting- Request as well as a timeout.

Packets of Unknown Type

The number of RADIUS packets of unknown type which were received from this server on the accounting port.
