Accounting Log File Format

It is important to know the format of the accounting log files as generated by the RADIUS server. The following is an example of an accounting log file generated by Merit AAA with:

• Some accounting activity coming from the E-series RADIUS client (tracking the activity of a PPP session)
• Some accounting activity coming from the SDX RADIUS client (a video service being activated, then deactivated)

Note: The Merit AAA server supplied by Juniper Networks supports interim accounting by default.
