The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IPFIX Implementation Guidelines ' <draft-ietf-ipfix-implementation-guidelines-08.txt> as an Informational RFC This document is the product of the IP Flow Information Export Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Dan Romascanu and Ron Bonica. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipfix-implementation-guidelines-08.txt Technical Summary The IP Flow Information eXport (IPFIX) protocol defines how IP Flow information can be exported from routers, measurement probes or other devices. This document provides guidelines for the implementation and use of the IPFIX protocol. Several sets of guidelines address template management, transport-specific issues, implementation of exporting and collecting processes and IPFIX implementation on middleboxes (such as firewalls, network address translators, tunnel endpoints, packet classifiers, etc.). Working Group Summary This document records experience gained in three IPFIX interopability events. Some of that early experience gave rise to changes in the IPFIX protocol, later experience came in testing IPFIX over its three transports. Overall, this document provides in-depth discussion about IPFIX. It will be useful to implementors and to others wanting more detail about its implementation. The Working Group has reached consensus on this document. Protocol Quality This document addresses implementation and interoperablity issues based on implementations of the IPFIX protocol and interoperability events. The document was reviewed by the WG chairs, by Dan Romascanu on behalf of the IESG, by David Black on behalf of the Transport Directorate, and by Elwyn Davies on behalf of the Gen-Art team. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
