A New Internet Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.

       Title     : Internet Accounting:  Background                   
       Author(s) : C. Mills, D. Hirsh, G. Ruth
       Filename  : draft-ietf-acct-background-00.txt

This document provides background information for the "Internet 
Accounting Architecture" and is the first of a three document set:  
Internet Accounting Background & Status (this document), Internet 
Accounting Architecture (under construction), Internet Accounting 
Meter Service (under construction).                                   

The focus at this time is on defining METER SERVICES and USAGE 
REPORTING which provide basic semantics for measuring network 
utilization, a syntax, and a data reporting protocol.  The intent is 
to produce a set of standards that is of practical use for early 
experimentation with usage reporting as an internet accounting 
mechanism.                                                            

This document provides background and tutorial information on issues 
surrounding the architecture, or in a sense, an explanation of choices
made in the Internet Accounting Architecture.
