The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Exporting Type Information for IPFIX Information Elements ' <draft-ietf-ipfix-exporting-type-05.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 Ron Bonica. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipfix-exporting-type-05.txt Technical Summary This document describes an extension to IPFIX to allow the encoding of IPFIX Information Model properties within an IPFIX Message stream. This enables the export of extended type information for enterprise- specific Information Elements, facilitating interoperability and reusability among a wide variety of applications and tools. Working Group Summary This document started out as a section in the 'IPFIX File' draft; it was split out because it is useful in other contexts than files of IPFIX data. There was considerable mailing-list discussion on the best ways to do this, it took several months for all the issues to be resolved. Discussion ended late in June 08. The final version of this draft (July 08) resolved issues raised in discussion. The WG has reached a clear consensus on this draft. Document Quality This document has been reviwed by Paul Aitken and Gerhard Muenz; their reviews prompted discussion on the list. It has also been reviewed by the WG chairs. It describes a set of new IPFIX Information Elements, but does not make any changes to the IPFIX protocol. Personnel Nevil Brownlee is the Document Shepherd. Dan Romascanu is the Responsible Area Director. Nevil Brownlee is the IANA Expert Reviewer. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
