Check your MAX and see what the accounting timeout is set for. It
should
be atleast 5 seconds. By default, Ascend sets the accounting timeout to
1 second, which can cause congestion and incorrect accounting tracking.
Also, you should look into enabling SNMP concurrency control for the
MAX. There is a FAQ on this at:

http://www.iea-software.com/radiusnt/faqs/SNMP-Concurrency.html

The FAQ is for RadiusNT, and the only difference is that rather than
directly editing the Database, you can use the Emerald Admin, RadiusNT
section to setup the options.
