NetSpy Network Session Accounting

The
NetSpy
network session accounting collects connect time and traffic statistics for terminal sessions.
rm
It collects this information from the NCP NPA Logical Unit (NPALU).
NetSpy
network session accounting differs from
NetSpy
NCP interface collection (also derived from the NPALU) in the following major respects:
  • Network session accounting identifies session partners (that is, PLU and SLU).
  • Network session traffic statistics are for LU sessions and never include line overhead, such as polling and retransmissions.
NetSpy
writes network session accounting data to the
NetSpy
user-defined SMF record with a subtype of "C". This record is further divided into these subtypes: "S" for start, "E" for end, and "I" for interval.
MICS
processes each of these subtypes.
