CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Cyndi Mills/BBN
Minutes of the Internet Accounting Working Group (ACCT)
Document Status
o Internet Accounting Background: published as an RFC in November
1991.
o Internet Accounting Architecture: needs some clarification,
otherwise it is ready for security review and publication as an
RFC.
o Internet Accounting MIB: simplifications needed, not ready for
publication as MIB yet.
The University of Auckland is implementing the MIB and will report on
their progress at the next IETF. Nevil Brownlee submitted several
suggested modifications which require clarification on the mailing list.
It was agreed that the MIB will be published as an Experimental MIB in
the hope that network management protocols will improve sufficiently in
the next year to provide a better basis for a standard accounting MIB.
In particular, bulk transfer and the reporting of data in traps are
desirable.
A second implementation is needed. It was suggested that we solicit
support from FARNET, publish an article in the Simple Times, and give a
plenary technical presentation at the next IETF.
Semyan Dukach of MIT gave a brief presentation on has work on
application-level billing protocols.
Future Direction
The Internet Accounting Working Group plans to hold its last active
meeting in November, since with the publication of the three documents
it has fulfilled its Charter. At that meeting the final recommendation
to the IESG for the status (e.g., Draft Standard or Experimental) of the
architecture and the MIB will be made. Any further activity after that
will take place on the mailing list.
Possible future directions for future working groups include:
o Implementor's Working Group to improve SNMP MIB.
o SMP and/or SNMP over TCP/IP implementation.
o Application-level accounting extensions.

o Exploration of Tariffs for the Internet.
