Received changes through RFC Editor sync (created alias RFC 8158, changed title to 'IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) Information Elements for Logging NAT Events', changed abstract to 'Network operators require NAT devices to log events like creation and deletion of translations and information about the resources that the NAT device is managing.  In many cases, the logs are essential to identify an attacker or a host that was used to launch malicious attacks and for various other purposes of accounting.  Since there is no standard way of logging this information, different NAT devices use proprietary formats; hence, it is difficult to expect consistent behavior.  This lack of standardization makes it difficult to write the Collector applications that would receive this data and process it to present useful information.  This document describes the formats for logging NAT events.', changed pages to 34, changed standardization level to Proposed Standard, changed state to RFC, added RFC published event at 2017-12-20, changed IESG state to RFC Published)
