Abstract
Techniques for coordinating traffic statistics and managing accounting sessions for multi-link operation are provided. A first communications link with a second network device is established by a first network device. A first accounting request to a third network device is transmitted by the first network device, where the first accounting request indicates that the second network device comprises a station multi-link device (STA MLD). A first accounting response is received by the first network device, indicating whether the third network device supports statistic aggregation. Traffic statistics for the first communication link is collected by the first network device, and reported to the third network device in accordance with the first accounting response.
