1.  Introduction

   This document summarises IETF and ITU-T documents related to
   Accounting.  For those documents which describe Accounting Attributes
   (i.e. quantities which can be measured and reported), an Attribute
   Summary is given.  Although several of the documents describe
   Attributes which are similar, no attempt is made to identify those
   which are the same in several documents.  An extensible
   classification scheme for AAA Accounting Attributes is proposed; it
   is a superset of the attributes in all the documents summarised.
