This Recommendation defines
the requirements and functionality needed
to support Accounting functions within this release of the IPCablecom2
Architecture. The main focus is to define
how the collection of usage data is done to assure that the required billing
functions can be supported, though usage data may also be used for other
purposes (e.g., network or service trend analysis, network planning, and
traffic engineering). In addition, this Recommendation details
the various accounting events and their associated attributes.
