1Using RADIUS with the OCSBCRTP Traffic Reporting per CallThe SBC reports total RTP traffic counts, both received and transmitted for callsthrough standard accounting interfaces on stop record generation. This traffic isreported in Packets and Octets, sent and received, for flow-sets 1 and 2. The QoSfeature set must be enabled to report on RTP traffic, otherwise the values will bereported as 0These statics are captured for the following scenarios RTP pass-thru sessions transcoded/transrated/inband (audio) DTMF-interworked RTP sessions RTP sessions where one or both call legs is encrypted (SRTP)RTP traffic reporting does not capture MSRP B2BUA and MSRP NAT traffic.The quick way to decipher these 16 statistics are as follows: Calling/Called - call-leg the static reports on Octets/Packets - counter unit for traffic FS1/FS2 - flow set 1 or flow set 2 blank/transmitted - traffic received (blank) or transmitted by the SBCCounter DefinitionRADIUS/Local CDR (VSA #)outputAVP in Acme-PacketSpecific-Rf-QoS(37)Number of Octets (8 bits) ofAcme-Calling-Octets-FS1 (28) RTP-Calling-Octets-FS1 (38)RTP traffic, received by theSBC, from the calling party, forflow-set 1Number of RTP Packets, sentfrom the SBC, to the callingUA, for flow-set S1(40)Number of Octets (8 bits) ofAcme-Called-Octets-FS1 (44)RTP traffic, sent from the SBC,to the called UA, for flow-set 1RTP-Called-Octets-FS1 (62)Number of RTP Packets, sentfrom the SBC, to the calledUA, for flow-set 1RTP-Called-Packets-FS1 (64)Acme-Called-Packets-FS1(45)Number of Octets (8 bits) ofAcme-Calling-Octets-FS2RTP traffic, received by the(102)SBC, from the calling party, forflow-set 2RTP-Calling-Octets-FS2 (39)Number of RTP Packets, sentfrom the SBC, to the callingUA, for flow-set S2(103)1-1

Ingeneral, RADIUS servers are responsible for receiving user connection requests,authenticating users, and returning all configuration information necessary for theclient to deliver service to the user.You can configure your OCSBC to send call accounting information to one or moreRADIUS servers. This information can help you to see usage and QoS metrics,monitor traffic, and even troubleshoot your system. For more information about QoS,refer to the Admission Control and QoS chapter of the ACLI Configuration Guide.For information about how to configure the OCSBC for RADIUS accounting use, referto this guide’s Configuring Accounting chapter.1-2
Chapter 1OverviewLicensingIn order to use RADIUS with your OCSBC, you must have the accounting licenseinstalled and activated on your system. For more information about licensing, see theSoftware Licensing section of the ACLI Configuration Guide’s Getting Started chapter.This chapter provides details about Oracle software licensing, including instructions forhow to obtain and install licenses.OverviewFor H.323, SIP, and calls being interworked between H.323 and SIP (IWF), you canobtain sets of records that contain information to help you with accounting and thatprovide a quantitative and qualitative measurement of the call. For H.323 and SIPcalls, the OCSBC generates one set of records; for calls requiring IWF, the OCSBCgenerates two sets of records.You can use the RADIUS records generated by your OCSBC to assist you with: Usage accounting—See the calling and called parties for a call, the protocol used,the realm the call traversed (as well as local and remote IP address and portinformation), and the codec used Traffic monitoring—You can see information about the setup, connect, anddisconnect times, as well as the SIP or H.323 disconnect cause SLA monitoring—The OCSBC supports RADIUS attributes that provideinformation about jitter, latency, and loss for H.323, SIP, and calls that requireinterworking between H.323 and SIP Troubleshooting—Obtain information about calls that can help you to identify andaddress issues with quality and how calls are setup and torn down.Standard RADIUS AttributesThis section describes the standard RADIUS attributes that the OCSBC supports.These attributes appear along with VSAs (Vendor-Specific Attributes) in the CDRs thatthe OCSBC generates.The Standard RADIUS Attributes Dictionary is a dictionary of the standard RADIUSattributes included in Accounting Request messages sent by the OCSBC to theRADIUS server. The CDR event information determines which messages aregenerated and which RADIUS attributes are included in the messages. StandardRADIUS messages and attributes are used whenever possible; however, RADIUSdoes not have attributes to record all important session information.Possible messages are: Start—Marks the start of service delivery and describes the type of service beingdelivered and the user to whom it is being delivered Interim-Update—Indicates to the accounting server that the session parametershave changed Stop—–Marks the end of service delivery1-3
Chapter 1Standard RADIUS Attributes–Describes the type of service that was delivered–Sometimes describes statistics such as elapsed time, input and output octets,or input and output packets On—Marks the start of accounting Off—Marks the end of accountingVSAs are used to record the necessary session information missing from this list ofstandard RADIUS attributes.For more information about RADIUS, see to the following Internet Engineering TaskForce Request for Comments (IETF RFCs): RFC 2865, Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS), Rigney, et al.,June 2000 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2865.txt) RFC 2866, RADIUS Accounting, C.
