Abstract:
In general, embodiments of the invention relate to a method for programming a network element to granularly track network traffic traversing through one or more network elements.

Claim (Index 7):
A network element, comprising:\n a data plane comprising a forwarding information base (FIB) and a forwarding equivalence class (FEC) table; and a control plane comprising an accounting policy service (APS) agent operatively connected to the FIB and the FEC table, and configured to:\n receive an accounting policy configuration (APC) specifying a first network prefix and a second network prefix; and \n in response to receiving, and based on, the APC:\n store a first FEC entry in the FEC table comprising a first FEC index and bridging next hop information (BNHI); \n store a first FIB entry in the FIB comprising the first network prefix and the first FEC index; \n store a second FEC entry in the FEC table comprising a second FEC index and the BNHI; and \n store a second FIB entry in the FIB comprising the second network prefix and the second FEC index.
