Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   This memo defines an information model for the Packet Sampling
   (PSAMP) protocol.  It is used by the PSAMP protocol for encoding
   sampled packet data and information related to the Sampling process.
   As the PSAMP protocol is based on the IPFIX protocol, this
   information model is an extension to the IPFIX information model.

Working Group Summary

   There is consensus in the WG to publish these documents.

Document Quality

   Several of the Information Elements defined in this document have
   already been implemented by academic as well as industrial 
   institutions, but not all of them have been implemented and tested,
   yet.

Personnel

   Juergen Quittek is shepherding this document. Dan Romascanu is the
   responsible Area director. Juergen Quittek will be the principal
   expert for the  selectorAlgorithm registry working with IANA.  

RFC Editor Note

 1. Insert in section 1, after the second paragraph the following
paragraph: 

NEW: 

Although the PSAMP charter specified no requirements for measuring packet
errors (such as drops, malformed, etc.), and this draft does not cover
such data, if there is need for collecting and exporting packet error
information, the appropriate Information Elements can be requested from
IANA, and exported with the PSAMP protocol.

8. in Appendix A.: 
Delete:
   Using XML-based specifications does not currently address possible
   IANA implications associated with XML Namespace URIs.  The use of
   Namespaces as an extension mechanism implies that an IANA registered
   Namespace URI should be available and that directory names below this
   base URI be assigned for relevant IETF specifications.  The authors
   are not aware of this mechanism today.
