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.
