IP Flow Information Export Applicability
RFC 5472, “IP Flow Information Export Applicability”, is an Informational document published in March 2009 by T. Zseby, E. Boschi, N. Brownlee, B. Claise. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
In this document, we describe the applicability of the IP Flow Information eXport (IPFIX) protocol for a variety of applications. We show how applications can use IPFIX, describe the relevant Information Elements (IEs) for those applications, and present opportunities and limitations of the protocol. Furthermore, we describe relations of the IPFIX framework to other architectures and frameworks. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
