This attribute contains a unique ID that can be used to “thread” data from multiple related sections together into one log file. The Acct-Session-ID for each session would be unique, but all would be linked by a common Acct-Multi-Session-ID. This is useful for applications where multilinking and channel-bonding services, such as multilink PPP, are provided and supported. More details on these services are provided in Chapter 6.
