Configurable AA subscriber statistics collection

Existing average volume statistics collected over an accounting interval are extended to provide the maximum volume (bytes/packets) recorded for a throughput measurement period (5 minutes) within an accounting interval. These additional statistics improve accuracy for the access-pipe right-sizing service.

Maximum throughput statistics can be enabled for the selected applications or application groups enabled for custom per AA statistics. In addition, the operator can enable (disabled by default) per AA subscriber ‟Max-throughput” statistics for total (/aggregate) subscriber traffic, independent of defined applications/application-groups.

Maximum throughput statistics records are allocated from the 2048K records available for use for per subscriber records.

Maximum throughput statistics are not provided for the protocols enabled for custom per AA statistics.
