[Serusers] Re: radius accounting

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Looking into source code I see that the START event is generated for 
INVITE or ACK and STOP event for BYE or CANCEL, also, the BYE has the 
code 8.

In your case, maybe the values in RADIUS dictionary are not good, double 
check that.

If you have enabled report_ack parameters, then most probably the second 
START event is generated by the ACK -- it is your decision to consider 
INVITE or ACK as the beginning of the call.
