LFAP Configuration Guide Monitoring the LFAP Agent on the RS
The
accounting 15-minutes
keyword tells the accounting server what size flow records to create. It does not
affect the RS. For example, the
accounting 15-minutes
keyword causes the accounting server to break flows
on exact 15 minute boundaries (e.g. 10:00, 10:15, 10:30, etc.). This allows the billing application to calculate a bit
rate. For example, the application could ask for all records in the 10:00 to 10:15 slot, sum the bytes and divide by
900 to get bits/second during that period.
Note This feature is not currently supported on the simple server located at
www.nmsops.org.
2. Identify the primary (and secondary) accounting server system to which the RS will send LFAP
messages (up to three accounting servers can be configured)
:
