Accounting Services Record Attributes


This appendix describes the standard and request-specific attributes that are logged in the Call Detail Records generated by the Accounting Services module of the CSPS.

Standard Attributes

All requests contain the following standard radius attributes. For more details on standard Radius accounting attributes, refer to [RFC 2866] RADIUS Accounting.

Table C-1 Standard Radius Attributes

Radius Attributes 
Values 

4 NAS IP

IP of the proxy

5 NAS Port

5

1 Use

User part of the URL in the "From" SIP header or user in "Proxy-authorization" SIP header, if present. This is controlled by a configuration directive (OrigUserNameSource).

If the RadiusUserNameAttrAddDomain directive is On, the domain in the "From" header will be appended to the UserName and the User Name attribute will be in the Username@domain format.

The UserName can be expanded to a fully expanded E164 number.

If the user name is taken from the "From" header, the expansion is dependent on the user type and the NumericUserNameInterpretation directive.

If the user name is taken from the "Authorization" or "Proxy-authorization" header, the expansion is dependent on the NumExpandAuthUserName directive. Expansion is based on the number expansion rules which are defined in the number expansion module.

When the sipd.conf directive StatefulServer is On, these vendor specific attributes are logged in the following order: session-protocol, call-id, method, prev-hop-via, prev-hop-ip, incoming-req-uri, outgoing-req-uri, next-hop-ip, next-hop-fqdn, sip-hdr.
