The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Specification of the IPFIX Protocol for the Exchange ' <draft-ietf-ipfix-protocol-24.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the IP Flow Information Export Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Dan Romascanu and David Kessens. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipfix-protocol-24.txt Technical Summary This document specifies the IPFIX protocol that serves for transmitting IP traffic flow information over the network. In order to transmit IP traffic flow information from an exporting process to an information collecting process, a common representation of flow data and a standard means of communicating them is required. This document describes how the IPFIX data and templates records are carried over a congestion-aware transport protocol from an IPFIX exporting process to an IPFIX collecting process. Working Group Summary This document is a regular WG document. There is strong consensus in the working group that this protocol is well-designed, and suitable for its intended purpose. Protocol Quality The document was thoroughly reviewed by the IPFIX WG. Bert Wijnen performed the AD review. Furthermore, the IPFIX WG has run two interoperability events, with five independent implementations tested and working, demonstrating that the IPFIX documents are of a high technical standard. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
