Introduction This document summarises IETF and ITU-T documents related to Accounting. For those documents which describe Accounting Attributes (i.e. quantities which can be measured and reported), an Attribute Summary is given. Although several of the documents describe Attributes which are similar, no attempt is made to identify those which are the same in several documents. An extensible classification scheme for AAA Accounting Attributes is proposed; it is a superset of the attributes in all the documents summarised. Brownlee & Blount Informational
