Abstract
A system, method and computer program product are provided for processing accounting information. In use, accounting information is received over a network. After receiving the accounting information, at least a portion of the accounting information that occurs during a surge in network traffic is discarded, based on at least one attribute of the accounting information. Further, at least a portion of the accounting information is processed, based on at least one attribute of the accounting information. Still yet, after the processing, at least a portion of remaining accounting information is allowed to pass to subsequent processing. To this end, the portion of the accounting information that is discarded is done so to prevent an overload of the subsequent processing.
