The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Sampling and Filtering Techniques for IP Packet Selection ' <draft-ietf-psamp-sample-tech-11.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Packet Sampling 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-psamp-sample-tech-11.txt Technical Summary This document describes Sampling and Filtering techniques for IP packet selection. It provides a categorization of schemes and defines what parameters are needed to describe the most common selection schemes. Furthermore it shows how techniques can be combined to build more elaborate packet Selectors. The document provides the basis for the definition of information models for configuring selection techniques in Measurement Processes and for reporting the technique in use to a Collector. Working Group Summary This document has been a regular WG document. There is strong consensus in the working group concerning the content of this document and the fact that it describes an appropriate sampling and filtering techniques for IP packet selection. Protocol Quality Dan Romascanu reviewed this document for the IESG, Vijay K. Gurbani did the Gen-Art review and Mark Allman performed an expert review on behalf of the TSV directorate. There are no known implementations yet, but two vendors and academic research institutes announced implementations. The document is fully supported by the WG and there has no concerns been raised that there are better alternatives or that the document is not useful.
