METHOD FOR MIGRATION OF SESSION ACCOUNTING TO A DIFFERENT STATEFUL ACCOUNTING PEER

摘要

A method for migrating a subscriber session from a first authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) accounting peer to a second AAA accounting peer, where the first AAA accounting peer is stateful. The method includes receiving an accounting start packet from an AAA client application, forwarding the accounting start packet to the first AAA accounting peer, receiving an accounting update or accounting stop packet from the AAA client application; and sending an accounting start packet from the AAA client application to the second AAA accounting peer, in response to a connection failure with the first AAA accounting peer.
