Abstract
The large diversity of existing computer networks associated with the
need for integrated solutions encompassing resources and services has
resulted in proposals being put forward for international standards.
The aim of these proposals has been to facilitate interoperability and
interconnectivity of systems from various suppliers. Within this
context, and making reference to the ISO and ITU-T standards for system
and network management, this paper presents an extension to the OSIMIS
(OSI Management Information Service) management platform through
implementing the Usage Metering Function. An application is described
demonstrating practical features of the implemented function.
Keywords: Accounting Management, OSI Model, OSIMIS, Network Management.
