XACCT's Common Reliable Accounting for Network Element Protocol Specification Version 1.0
RFC 3423, “XACCT's Common Reliable Accounting for Network Element Protocol Specification Version 1.0”, is an Informational document published in November 2002 by K. Zhang, E. Elkin. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines the Common Reliable Accounting for Network Element (CRANE) protocol that enables efficient and reliable delivery of any data, mainly accounting data from Network Elements to any systems, such as mediation systems and Business Support Systems (BSS)/ Operations Support Systems (OSS). The protocol is developed to address the critical needs for exporting high volume of accounting data from NE's with efficient use of network, storage, and processing resources. This document specifies the architecture of the protocol and the message format, which MUST be supported by all CRANE protocol implementations. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
