Technical Summary

   Flow-based measurement is a popular method for various network
   monitoring usages.  The sharing of flow-based information for
   monitoring applications having different requirements raises some
   open issues in terms of measurement system scalability, flow-based
   measurement flexibility, and export reliability that IPFIX Mediation
   may help resolve.  This document describes some problems related to
   flow-based measurement that network administrators have been facing,
   and then describes IPFIX Mediation applicability examples along with
   the problems.
