A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 6526 Title: IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) Per Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) Stream Author: B. Claise, P. Aitken, A. Johnson, G. Muenz Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: March 2012 Mailbox: bclaise@cisco.com, paitken@cisco.com, andrjohn@cisco.com, muenz@net.in.tum.de Pages: 23 Characters: 51285 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-ipfix-export-per-sctp-stream-08.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6526.txt This document specifies an extension to the specifications in RFC 5101, IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX), when using the Partial Reliability extension of SCTP (PR-SCTP, Partial Reliability Stream Control Transmission Protocol). When implemented at both the Exporting Process and Collecting Process, this method offers several advantages, such as the ability to calculate Data Record losses for PR-SCTP per Template, immediate export of Template Withdrawal Messages, immediate reuse of Template IDs within an SCTP stream, reduced likelihood of Data Record loss, and reduced demands on the Collecting Process. When implemented in only the Collecting Process or Exporting Process, then normal IPFIX behavior will be seen without all of the additional benefits. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This document is a product of the IP Flow Information Export Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
