The following tables provide the maximum number of accounting statistics records that
can be retrieved and processed by the 5620 SAM Server or 5620 SAM Auxiliary
Statistics Collector in various situations.
To reach the peak accounting statistics collection from the 5620 SAM Auxiliary Statistics
Collector workstation, the 5620 SAM Database workstation requires a customized
configuration that can be obtained from Alcatel-Lucent personnel.

To compute the number of CPU cores available on the workstation, the following
command can be used:
# dmidecode | grep "Core Count" | /usr/bin/awk '{SUM += $3} END {print SUM}'
In situations where 5620 SAM is asked to collect more accounting statistics records than
it can process in the specified retrieval period, the extra statistics will not be retrieved
from the network.
