  "abstract": "This document describes policy-based accounting which is an approach\r\nto provide flexibility to accounting architectures. Accounting\r\npolicies describe the configuration of an accounting architecture in\r\na standardized way. They are used to instrument the accounting\r\narchitecture and can be exchanged between AAA entities in order to\r\nshare configuration information.\r\nThis document describes building blocks and message sequences for\r\npolicy-based accounting in the generic AAA architecture [RFC2903].\r\nExamples are given for the usage of accounting policies in different\r\nscenarios. Furthermore it is shown how accounting components can be\r\nintegrated into the AAA authorization framework [RFC2904]. This\r\ndocument  does not propose a language for the description of\r\naccounting policies. It is rather assumed that a suitable policy\r\nlanguage can be chosen from existing or upcoming standards.\r\n\r\n",
