IPDR was my first thought as an alternative to SNMP. Is its accuracy
comparable? Itâ??s been included into TR-069, so itâ??s theoretically
available to telcos, too. And usage-based billing is part of itâ??s purpose.


Not sure Iâ??d want to use NetFlow/IPFIX, since by nature it tracks flows,
not bits, and I donâ??t want to record flows. But Iâ??d be interested in
hearing othersâ?? experience.
