Abstract
Interconnected networks of today provide a wide variety of services, which consume widely differing amounts of resources. But unlike other computing resources such as disk space and processing power, the network resource is not that much accounted.
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) internet-accounting working group is currently studying this subject. Their approach to the problem is focused on network accounting but does not cover any real-time controls such as quotas or enforcement.
In this paper, a model that increases coordination between accounting mechanisms and access controls is introduced. This model is compatible with the concepts and the architecture introduced by IETF internet-accounting working group. In the proposed model the quota manager is responsible from producing a table of service consumers that have already reached their quotas. This table is formed by using the data accumulated by the accounting system.
