In addition to the charter maintained by the IETF Secretariat, there is additional information about this working group on the Web at: Additional RTFM Information
This working group has three main objectives:
* Consider current issues in traffic flow measurement, such as
- Security issues relating to both traffic measuring devices
and to the data they produce.
- Policy issues relating to traffic measurement and usage
accounting, for example any requirements these may place on
emerging network protocols
- Existing work in traffic flow measurement, including that of
IETF Working Groups such as bmwg/ippm, rsvp and rmonmib, as
well as that by vendors and independent researchers
* Produce an improved Traffic Flow Model considering at least the
following needs:
- wider range of measurable quantities, e.g. those relating to
IPv6, and to class of service
- simpler ways to specify flows of interest
- better ways to control access to measured flow data
- strong focus on data reduction capabilities
- efficient hardware implementation
* Develop the RTFM Architecture and Meter MIB as 'standards track'
documents with the IETF.
