As new Information Elements (IEs) are introduced in IPFIX to export long information, such as the BGP community information {[}I-D.ietf-opsawg-ipfix-bgp-community{]}, an IPFIX Message no longer has sufficient space to fit all the information of a specific flow. This document updates the IPFIX specification by extending the IPFIX Message length from 16 bits to 32 bits. For backwards compatibility, a new version of IPFIX (i.e., 11) is introduced to support the 32-bit Message length.}, }
