Web services are increasingly being deployed for commercial business applications. An important management component is the Accounting Framework that handles the metering and accounting of service usage. Metering is the function that collects the information regarding the resource usage of a certain service by the consumers. Users can then be charged and billed as per their usage of the service. Traditional rating systems meter the usage of physical resources such as CPU, disk space or network usage such as bandwidth. In web services, unlike the traditional environment, users do not directly consume these physical resources, but instead remotely and indirectly use the service provider resources. This study proposes a metering framework for web services to measure the service usage and record the information using the standard Internet Protocol Detail Record format. The proposed framework has been implemented and tested by extending the RADIUS protocol to measure and record web service usage. The metering framework has been tested using a sample web application with multiple web services.
Key words: IPDR format, usage data record, web service accounting, web service metering , , ,
