The CTF receives a service request. The service request may be initiated either by the user or the other network element.

In order to start accounting session, the CTF sends a Accounting-Request (ACR) with Accounting-Record-Type AVP set to
START_RECORD to the CDF.

The CDF returns Accounting-Answer (ACA) message with Accounting-Record-Type set to START_RECORD to the CTF
and possibly Acct-Interim-Interval AVP (AII) set to non-zero value indicating the desired intermediate charging interval.

(ACR) with Accounting-Record-Type AVP set to INTERIM_RECORD to the CDF.
