IP Flow Information Export Implementation Guidelines
RFC 5153, “IP Flow Information Export Implementation Guidelines”, is an Informational document published in April 2008 by E. Boschi, L. Mark, J. Quittek, M. Stiemerling, P. Aitken. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) protocol defines how IP Flow information can be exported from routers, measurement probes, or other devices. This document provides guidelines for the implementation and use of the IPFIX protocol. Several sets of guidelines address Template management, transport-specific issues, implementation of Exporting and Collecting Processes, and IPFIX implementation on middleboxes (such as firewalls, network address translators, tunnel endpoints, packet classifiers, etc.). This memo provides information for the Internet community.
