ITU-T RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY
Rec. No. : D.260
Title : Charging and accounting capabilities to be applied on the ISDN
Study Group : III - Tariff and Accounting Principles
Version : New
Date of adoption : 1991
Notes :
Tariff and accounting principles for services supported by ISDNs are
contained in other Recommendations in the D.200-Series.
Recommendation D.260 provides a methodology for identifying and
displaying charging and accounting capabilities requiring network
support.
The tariff and accounting principles contained in the D.200-Series
Recommendations, describe those principles in terms that may not be
readily understood by the technical experts who are developing the
charging and accounting support mechanisms.
Recommendation D.260 provides a methodology for the development and
displaying of a more detailed level of information that results from
expert interpretation of general tariff and accounting principles
applied to specific services to be supported by ISDNs.
In order for the technical experts to provide appropriate support
mechanisms, there is a need for them to be advised of the structure
of the charging and accounting requirements. The level of charges is
a national matter and is not of concern to the system design technical
experts. It may be that the relative size of fields used in the
transmission of charging and accounting information will need to be
defined in the protocol development stage (further study). Tariff
experts need to examine each specific service and systematically
develop and display potential charging and accounting requirements.
Emphasis must be placed on the word "potential" since Administrations
may select different combinations of the provided support mechanisms
in the implementation of their charging systems.
In general, the system design technical experts will need to be
advised of the structure of the charging and accounting elements to
be supported.
