<p>The present invention relates to a method and network element for accounting chargeable signaling in a communication network, wherein a signaling message is detected in a call processing network element (7), and an amount of data carried in said signaling message is determined based on a message description provided in said signaling message. A counting function is then selected and updated based on said message description. Thereby, an inter-operator accounting can be provided even for data carried in signaling messages.</p> |
