Broadband Network Accounting System Design And Realization

The construction of broad band network is in progress all over China. With the rapid advancement of network technology, there are more and more applications which are based on Internet. People can get more and more informations from Internet, so the quantity of Internet user becomes larger and larger. Most of the new applications need wide bandwidth. The widely used Dial-up can no longer satisfy users, so people need broadband network.The construction of broadband network need lots of investment.

All those means that a good accounting system is absolutely necessary. Accounting system is important to QoS of network, users' benefit and investor's fate.This paper discusses the design and implementation of Accounting system. It consists of six chapters. Chapter one introduces the development of broadband technology, several methods of accounting. Chapter two introduces the structure of accounting system. Chapter three and chapter four discuss the two key parts in detail of the whole system: dealing of data and user authentication. The last chapter summarizes the whole pager and prospects the future study. Considering the length of this paper, some user-oriented modules are not introduced here.The designing ideas and implementation techniques in this paper are introduced for practical need, and have been proved to be acceptable in actually-running systems.
