account-config

The account-config configuration element allows you to set the location where accounting messages are sent.

Setting this parameter to disabled tells the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller to transmit accounting information at the start of a session (Start), during the session (Interim), and at the close of a session (Stop).
  • Default: disabled
  • Values: enabled | disabled
generate-start
Select the type of SIP event that triggers the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller to transmit a RADIUS Start message

    • start—RADIUS Start message should not be generated
    • invite—RADIUS Start message is generated once a SIP session INVITE is received
    • ok—RADIUS Start message is generated an OK message in response to an INVITE is received

    • hunt—The Oracle Communications Session Border Controller selects the push receiver from the available list according to the priority level
    • failover—The Oracle Communications Session Border Controller selects the push receiver based on priority level and continues to use that same push receiver until it fails over
    • roundrobin—The Oracle Communications Session Border Controller selects push receivers systematically one after another, balancing the load among all responsive push receivers
    • fastestrtt—The Oracle Communications Session Border Controller selects the push receiver based on best average throughput. For this situation, throughput is the number of bytes transferred divided by the response time. The system uses a running average of the five most recent throughput values to accommodate for network load fluctuations

This can result in attribute placement and counts that are less consistent.
