4.12.3. Accounting Update

Mpd provides summary traffic statistics in every accounting Update/Stop call of radius-acct or ext-acct.

For radius-acct it provides such attributes:

Acct-Input-Packets

32bit input packets counter,

Acct-Output-Packets

32bit output packets counter,

Acct-Input-Octets

lower 32bit of input bytes counter,

Acct-Output-Octets

lower 32bit of output bytes counter,

Acct-Input-Gigawords

higher 32bit of input bytes counter,

Acct-Output-Gigawords

higher 32bit of output bytes counter.

For ext-acct it provides:

ACCT_INPUT_PACKETS

64bit input packets counter,

ACCT_OUTPUT_PACKETS

64bit output packets counter,

ACCT_INPUT_OCTETS

64bit input bytes counter,

ACCT_OUTPUT_OCTETS

64bit output bytes counter.

NOTE: as Accounting Update is implemented on a link layer it accounts traffic via single physical link (without link overhead). So it accounts traffic after compression, encryption and multilink were applied to it.
