[OpenSIPS-Users] [OpenSIPS-Devel] Are accounting radius requests syncronous?

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Alex,

Doesn't matter if the radius call is done via a script function or 
internally, because of the flag - the call is still blocking and the 
process doing it will be idle.

The radius lib (AFAIK) does not provide any mechanism to do non-blocking 
acc requests.

Regards,
Bogdan
