“…These events were important because they revealed parts of the IPFIX Internet Drafts that were unclear, and overall helped to improve the system design. This early implementation experience was documented in [11] and gave rise to a set of IPFIX Testing Guidelines [12]. Since then other work has continued steadily, improving IPFIX by adding further features, as presented below.…”

SUMMARYThis paper presents a history of the IPFIX working group, from initial chartering through development and testing, re-chartering and further development, and looking ahead to future developments. As a standardised way of exporting information about traffic flows, IPFIX has attracted a growing number of implementors, who have continued to develop it in useful ways without changing its underlying architecture. This makes it a good example of how to develop a new technology. Further, it demonstrates widespread recognition of the importance of network measurement in the development, deployment and production stages of networks and the applications that depend on them. key words: traffic flows, network data export, IPFIX

This document specifies the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) protocol, which serves as a means for transmitting Traffic Flow information over the network. In order to transmit Traffic Flow information from an Exporting Process to a Collecting Process, a common representation of flow data and a standard means of communicating them are required. This document describes how the IPFIX Data and Template Records are carried over a number of transport protocols from an IPFIX Exporting Process to an IPFIX Collecting Process. This document obsoletes RFC 5101.

This document defines the data types and management policy for the information model for the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) protocol. This information model is maintained as the IANA "IPFIX Information Elements" registry, the initial contents of which were defined by RFC 5102. This information model is used by the IPFIX protocol for encoding measured traffic information and information related to the traffic Observation Point, the traffic Metering Process, and the Exporting Process. Although this model was developed for the IPFIX protocol, it is defined in an open way that allows it to be easily used in other protocols, interfaces, and applications. This document obsoletes RFC 5102.
