The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Flow Selection Techniques' (draft-ietf-ipfix-flow-selection-tech-18.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the IP Flow Information Export Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Benoit Claise and Joel Jaeggli. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ipfix-flow-selection-tech/ Technical Summary Flow selection is the process of selecting a subset of flows from all observed flows. The Flow Selection Process may be located at an observation point, or on an IPFIX Mediator. Flow selection reduces the effort of post-processing flow data and transferring Flow Records. This document describes motivations for flow selection and presents flow selection techniques. It provides an information model for configuring flow selection techniques and discusses what information about a flow selection process should be exported. Working Group Summary This document has been extensively reviewed by the WG, and has had two WGLCs. I believe that all the issues raised have been resolved; we now have clear WG consensus. Document Quality I'm not aware of any implementations of IPFIX flow selection. Brian Trammell provided reviews that were particularly useful to the draft's authors.
