Specification of the IP Flow Information Export File Format
RFC 5655, “Specification of the IP Flow Information Export File Format”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2009 by B. Trammell, E. Boschi, L. Mark, T. Zseby, A. Wagner. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a file format for the storage of flow data based upon the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) protocol. It proposes a set of requirements for flat-file, binary flow data file formats, then specifies the IPFIX File format to meet these requirements based upon IPFIX Messages. This IPFIX File format is designed to facilitate interoperability and reusability among a wide variety of flow storage, processing, and analysis tools. [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.
