Specification of the IP Flow Information Export Protocol for the Exchange of IP Traffic Flow Information
RFC 5101, “Specification of the IP Flow Information Export Protocol for the Exchange of IP Traffic Flow Information”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2008 by B. Claise. It has been obsoleted by RFC 7011 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) protocol that serves for transmitting IP Traffic Flow information over the network. In order to transmit IP Traffic Flow information from an Exporting Process to an information Collecting Process, a common representation of flow data and a standard means of communicating them is required. This document describes how the IPFIX Data and Template Records are carried over a number of transport protocols from an IPFIX Exporting Process to an IPFIX Collecting Process. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
