Sorry yeah I meant the EPC. I am not sure if the Open5GS software supports it but Freediameter would be the Accounting portion in AAA from what I can tell.

in which way is the eNB involved in traffic accounting in LTE?
Normally, AFAICT, accounting is implemented within the P-GW, potentially interacting via Radios/Diameter or some other protocol with some external entity that decides whether or not there is credit/budget remaining or not. If not, the PGW would stop firwarding packets of the related session/subscriber.
