[Kamailio-Users] RADIUS for billing

[Alex Balashov]

RADIUS is not a must;  you can use plain database records the 'acc' 
module puts out for billing.

In fact, unless you have a specific need for RADIUS due to billing 
software that operates on its record format, or have some other reason 
for it, it is unnecessary complexity you should avoid.

There are some technical and resilience advantages to using RADIUS, 
but in my opinion they hardly justify the complexity (especially for a 
new user) unless you have an identifiable need to use it.
