NEW!!
IPDR Streaming Protocol - v2.2

The specification provides an advanced streaming protocol for accounting information exchange, and delivers a compelling solution to the technical and business challenges faced by the next-generation equipment and server vendors.

This version adds a feature of "back channel" mechanism that allows bi-directional communications between Exporters and Collectors. This protocol capability forms a basis for interactive communications between Service/Network Elements and BSS/OSS applications.

IPDR Reference Source Code

IPDR Reference Source Code - v3.5
(in C and Java)

These libraries provide all the tools needed to quickly and inexpensively integrate IPDR encoding/decoding and file transfer technology into your applications. IPDR.org provides two distinct libraries: the "conversion" library which handles the encoding and decoding of both XML and XDR based IPDRs, and the "file_transfer" library which provides all the tools you need to implement the file-based transfer protocol specified in NDM-U 3.1. In addition to supporting capability files, control files, and range files, the file_transfer library also provides tools for transferring IPDR documents using http gets, ftp gets/puts, and local file access.

Service Specifications

NDM-U is a major advance over all past billing record formats, because it is multi-service. Every past approach such as the CDR was specific to a single industry, and always lacked the provision for flexibility. In contrast, NDM-U supports an infinite number of possible services. Today, almost a dozen services are supported.

The technology to define a billing record specific to an emerging class of service is to define a "Service Specification."
