Explanation
The AAA framework stands for Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting - these are the three services provided by AAA protocols such as RADIUS, TACACS+, and DIAMETER. Authentication verifies the identity of a user or device. Authorization determines what resources or actions that authenticated entity is permitted to access. Accounting tracks and logs the activities of authenticated users for auditing and billing purposes. 'Administration' is not one of the three A's in the AAA model. It is a common distractor because TACACS+ does support some administrative functions, but 'Administration' is not a formal AAA service category.
