Understanding the need for Accounting Management What is accounting management? Why do networks require accounting management? Why is accounting almost a stealth area within network management? Which problems do accounting management solutions solve? How can the business use this information for network planning, redesign, and billing? What aspects make up accounting (data collection, data analysis, reporting, billing, and so on)?

Defining accounting management

Defining accounting management

ITU-T definition (M. 3400 and X. 700, Definitions of the OSI Network Management Responsibilities):

ITU-T definition (M. 3400 and X. 700, Definitions of the OSI Network Management Responsibilities): "Accounting management • enables charges to be established for the use of resources in the OSIE [Open Systems Interconnect Environment], and for • costs to be identified for the use of those resources”

Accounting management includes functions to: ITU-T definition (M. 3400 and X. 700, Definitions of

Accounting management includes functions to: ITU-T definition (M. 3400 and X. 700, Definitions of the OSI Network Management Responsibilities): Accounting management includes • "inform users of costs incurred or inform functions to: resources consumed” limit • "enable accounting limits to be set and tariff schedules to be associated with the use of resources; • "enable costs to be combined where multiple Cost resources are invoked to achieve a given combine communication objective. "

Telecommunication Management Forum (TMF) definition: + ITU M 3400 The Fulfillment, Assurance, and Billing (FAB) model of TMF's e. TOM = additional details for billing in the enhanced Telecom Operations Map (e. TOM) TMF

Telecommunication Management Forum (TMF) definition: The TMF refers to the ITU-T accounting definition (M.

Telecommunication Management Forum (TMF) definition: The TMF refers to the ITU-T accounting definition (M. 3400) and provides additional details for billing in the enhanced Telecom Operations Map (e. TOM), The Business Process Framework, Document GB 921. The Fulfillment, Assurance, and Billing (FAB) model of TMF's e. TOM positions the "Network Data Management" building block between assurance and billing. "Network Data Management: this process encompasses the collection of usage data and network and information technology events and data for the purpose of network performance and traffic analysis. This data may also be an input to Billing (Rating and Discounting) processes at the Service Management Layer, depending on the service and its architecture. " Chapter 3 explains the FAB model in more detail.

IETF definition: Request For Comment (RFC) 2975, Introduction to Accounting Management the collection of resource consumption data for the purposes of capacity and trend analysis, cost allocation, auditing, and billing. Accounting management requires that resource consumption be measured, rated, assigned, and communicated between appropriate parties. "

In this book, we use the term accounting management to describe the following processes:

In this book, we use the term accounting management to describe the following processes: Collecting usage data records at network devices Optionally preprocessing data produced by the device (for example, filter, sample, aggregate) Exporting the data from the device toward a collection server Processing the data at the collection server (for example, filter, sample, performance, aggregate, de-duplicate) SLA, fault, security, Converting usage records into a common format to be used by higherlayer applications : the mediation procedure billing, planning, and so on

User Monitoring and Profiling The trend of running mission-critical applications on the network is OVERWHELMING Voice over IP (Vo. IP), virtual private networking (VPN), and videoconferencing are increasingly being run over the network. At the same time, people use (abuse? ) the network to download movies, listen to music online, perform excessive surfing, and so on. next

User Monitoring and Profiling This information can be used to: Monitor and profile users

User Monitoring and Profiling This information can be used to: Monitor and profile users Track network usage per user Document usage trends by user, group, and department Identify opportunities to sell additional value-added services to targeted customers. Build a traffic matrix per subdivision, group, or even user A traffic matrix illustrates the patterns between the origin and destination of traffic in the network back
