Accounting statistics are collected according to the parameters defined within the
context of an accounting policy. Accounting policies are applied to customer Service
Access Points (SAPs) and network interfaces. Accounting statistics are collected by
counters for individual service queues defined on the customer’s SAPs or by the
counters within forwarding class (FC) queues defined on the network ports.
The type of record defined within the accounting policy determines where a policy is
applied, which statistics are collected, and the time interval at which to collect
statistics.
The only supported destination for an accounting log is a compact flash system
device (cf3: on all platforms; also cf1: or cf2: on the 7705 SAR-18). Accounting data
is stored within a standard directory structure on the device in compressed XML
format.
