Guidelines for IP Flow Information Export Testing
RFC 5471, “Guidelines for IP Flow Information Export Testing”, is an Informational document published in March 2009 by C. Schmoll, P. Aitken, B. Claise. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document presents a list of tests for implementers of IP Flow Information eXport (IPFIX) compliant Exporting Processes and Collecting Processes. This document specifies guidelines for a series of tests that can be run on the IPFIX Exporting Process and Collecting Process in order to probe the conformity and robustness of the IPFIX protocol implementations. These tests cover all important functions, in order to gain a level of confidence in the IPFIX implementation. Therefore, they allow the implementer to perform interoperability or plug tests with other IPFIX Exporting Processes and Collecting Processes. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
