Accounting Report

This report lists all tunnel sessions that occurred during the selected period, sorted by user name. In addition to a wide range of tunnel performance statistics for each session, this report indicates the virtual subnet IP address allocated to the remote client, the duration of each session, and the reason the session ended. Possible reasons the session ended include:

HUser Request: the Aurorean user pressed Disconnect to disconnect the tunnel; this is the most common reason for a session to end.

HLost Service: the tunnel was disconnected unexpectedly, such as when the Aurorean PC reboots without warning or when the dial-up connection between Aurorean and the ISP POP ends abruptly.

HUser Error: the Aurorean Network Gateway and Aurorean Client were unable to successfully negotiate a tunnel connection.

In addition to the data described below, throughput, login and session totals are reported for each client as well as the reason for why the session ended. This report also offers a drill-down view in a subsequent display. Table 17 lists the column headings and values that appear in an Accounting Report.
