RADIUS attribute for session timeout

Session timeout can be configured on the RADIUS server so that each client can have a different timeout value. The Session-Timeout attribute as defined in RFC 2865 is included in the Access-Accept message, and sets the maximum number of seconds of service to be provided to the user before termination of the session.
