This implies that all & any such messages should be allocated a counter in the DCCA MIB, but the membership of this set of messages is not static.  Any suggestions? 

Have clients include an Auth-Application-Id AVP in the AAR with the DCC 
app id? It's not clear to me from the specs whether this is the 
intention or not but IMHO there really ought to be a way for the server 
to tell whether the AAR is for a NAS or DCC session - not just for 
management reasons.
