Information Model for IP Flow Information Export
Status of This Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
Abstract
This memo defines an information model for the IP Flow Information
eXport (IPFIX) protocol. It 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 developed for the IPFIX protocol, the
model is defined in an open way that easily allows using it in other
protocols, interfaces, and applications.
