Enabling PPP traffic statistics collection
PPP can generate traffic-based accounting statistics on each PPP link. The statistics include the amount of
the inbound and outbound information (in terms of the number of bytes and the number of packets) on
a link. The information can be used by AAA application modules for accounting and control purposes.
For more information about AAA accounting, see Access Control Configuration Guide.
