A method and apparatus for detailed accounting of packet data are
disclosed. According to one embodiment of the present invention, on
receiving a duplicated HTTP request from a packet duplication apparatus,
a billing apparatus extracts an access address to generate a first hash
value. Then, on receiving a converted HTTP response from the packet
duplication apparatus, the billing apparatus extracts a second hash value
from the duplicated HTTP response to compare with the first hash value.
If the first hash value and the second hash value are the same, the
billing apparatus sets the HTTP REQUEST and the converted HTTP response
as a transaction to generate billing data. Thus, the billing apparatus
can generate accurate billing data.
