Chapter 6 Prepaid Billing Solution
Overview
Cisco AR 3.5 provides maximum flexibility to billing servers by allowing the metering variable to be
modified as the service is used. This requires network nodes to measure all parameters all the time, but
to report values only after receiving a reauthorization request.
