But if you're gathering essentially the same data with RADIUS accounting anyway, what's the use/need of SNMP in this case? Yes, customers love nice MRTG (or RDD) graphs, but they don't particularly care where the data is coming from as long as they're accurate. You'll have a delay of maximum the "checkpoint" plus some processing with RADIUS, I'll try to go that path (even though the rest of the lines currently rely on SNMP).
