Configuring IP Accounting on a Frame Relay Interface
IP Accounting is a mechanism for counting transit data packets -- that is, packets
that IP receives on one interface and forwards out another interface. This
mechanism allows a network service provider to bill a network user according to
the amount of data that it routes between two locations.
Bay Networks currently provides IP Accounting support for Frame Relay
networks. IP Accounting counts all data packets that the router receives on any IP
interface and forwards out an IP/Frame Relay interface.
IP accounting keeps track of transit data packets by making an entry for each
packet in an IP accounting table. Each entry includes the following fields: the
source address of the packet, the destination address of the packet, the number of
packets forwarded, and the number of bytes forwarded.
Enabling IP Accounting on the Router
By default, IP Accounting support is disabled on the router. You can use Site
Manager to enable IP Accounting.
Specifying the Maximum Size of the IP Accounting Table
By default, the IP Accounting table can contain up 512 entries per slot.
You can use Site Manager to specify the maximum number of entries in the IP
Accounting table.
Warning: If the Frame Relay interface becomes overrun and the driver drops
packets, these packets will still be counted by IP Accounting.
