The DIAMETER protocol provides Authentication and Authorization for
network access technologies, such as NASREQ, ROAMOPS and Mobile IP.
The ROAMOPS WG has been working on an accounting data format, called
Accounting Data Interchange Format (ADIF), as a method to transfer
accounting information over a wide variety of transports.
This extension describes how accounting records can be securely
transmitted over the DIAMETER protocol. When combined with the
Strong Security extension, accounting records MAY traverse
intermediate proxies in a secure fashion and is compatible with
the referral broker model. This extension allows for both
real-time and batched accounting transfers.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
