Overview
IP Unicast Forwarding
IP unicast packets are routed in the hardware using the longest prefix match algorithm.
Counts of packets and bytes are maintained based on the routes used to forward
packets.
Destination Sensitive Accounting
Destination Sensitive Accounting gives you the flexibility to bill your customers at
predetermined and different rates. The rates are based on the customers' IP unicast
packet destinations.
The accounting feature categorizes IP unicast packets using two parameters, input
VLAN ID and accounting bin number. The VLAN ID is used to identify from which
customer the packet is received. The accounting bin number is associated with the route
used to forward the packet. External billing application servers can correlate the
accounting bin number to a specific billing rate.
