The IESG has received a request from the IP Flow Information Export WG (ipfix) to consider the following document: - 'Flow Aggregation for the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) Protocol' <draft-ietf-ipfix-a9n-07.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-11-13. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document provides a common implementation-independent basis for the interoperable application of the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) Protocol to the handling of Aggregated Flows, which are IPFIX Flows representing packets from multiple Original Flows sharing some set of common properties. It does this through a detailed terminology and a descriptive Intermediate Aggregation Process architecture, including a specification of methods for Original Flow counting and counter distribution across intervals.
