[Chilli] Coova multi-session accounting

[Phyo Wai Soe]

Hi All,

I am using Coova 1.3.0 with FreeRadius/MySQL. We are using ChilliSpot-Max-Total-Octets attribute to manage users' usage quotas. All is well if we allow only 1 simultaneous session per user. However, if we allow multiple simultaneous sessions for each user, each session gets its own ChilliSpot-Max-Total-Octets value and Coova treats them as separate/different sessions. For example, if a user is allowed 1GB, he can open 2 simultaneous sessions and use 1 GB in each session.

I remember reading somewhere that if there are multiple sessions for the same user, a unique multi-session ID is created to track two or more sessions. I can't recall whether it's related to Coova or some other NAS.

I would like to know if Coova supports multi-session accounting like I described above. If it does, can you please tell me how/where I need to configure that.

Many thanks.
