【 摘 要 】

This paper describes an accounting system (IPNA) for heterogenous IPnetworks with arbitrary topologies implemented at the uni versity of Kaiserslautern. The produced data volume per unit is numer ated. The collected data is stored in a database and offers different anal ysis possibilities. The results can be visualized and adapted to the users requirements. The main effort was to build a data traffic quota system for single units as well as groups of devices that also report exceeded quotas. The system itself only observes the network traffic. Interfaces offer tools to inter act with the network. The IPNA consists of a backend for the data acquisition and preparation and a frontend for configuration and visu alization tasks including quality control.
