The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Cisco Systems Export of Application Information in IPFIX' (draft-claise-export-application-info-in-ipfix-10.txt) as Informational RFC This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Ronald Bonica. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-claise-export-application-info-in-ipfix/ Technical Summary This document's title is "Cisco Systems Export of Application Information in IPFIX". It points out that various vendors implement different ways of determining the type of application producing a flow, but that we need an RFC-specified way of exporting that information using IPFIX. The document describes a taxonomy of application types, ordered by 'classification engine IDs.' These IDs are mostly IANA registries, but the document also proposes new one called PANA-Lx (where Lx can be L2, L3 or L4) for Proprietary Layer 3 definitions. The intention here is that vendors could publish their own sets of Application IDs, so that they would be freely available. Working Group Summary This is an Individual Submission, but - as mentioned above - it has been discussed, and received considerable support in the IPFIX Working Group. Document Quality The document does not define a new protocol, instead it defines a set of new IPFIX Information IDs; I see no difficulties with these. Personnel Document Shepherd is Nevil Browlee
