The IPDR Streaming protocol added in v3.5 is specifically designed for reliable export of usage data from a network element. It offers features unavailable from SNMP, RADIUS, Netflow, or any other alternative today:

Real-time and highly reliable at low cost:

• Windowed application-level acknowledgement, tunable keep-alive, fail-over sequence boundaries, and other reliability features enable robustness at a low implementation cost.

Minimizes CPU and storage demands

• Utilizes XDR (RFC 1832) binary format
• Capability negotiation eliminates unwanted details
• Event-based record generation permits optimized measurement algorithms

Widespread compatibility

• 100% convertible to IPDR File
• Ensures compatibility with major BSS packages
