Backoff Q full means that the queue of accounting messages to be sent to the radius server is full and an entry had to be dropped. This usually happens under some of these circumstances: * your radius server died (either the daemon or the machine running the daemon). * your radius server machine can't keep up. Many reasons can contribute here: * the machine is not fast enough or it is too busy * you are using the free radius server with a large flat file (convert to DBM) * connectivity between the server and the NAS fails. Verify using pings and pay special attention to the response delay. If it is too long, you may be heading for trouble. * you are using the ethernet port on the shelf controller of the TNT. This is a big no-no if the traffic is anything more than a few packets a second and you are handling a few hundred calls.
