Export of Structured Data in IP Flow Information Export
RFC 6313, “Export of Structured Data in IP Flow Information Export”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2011 by B. Claise, G. Dhandapani, P. Aitken, S. Yates. It updates RFC 5102. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies an extension to the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) protocol specification in RFC 5101 and the IPFIX information model specified in RFC 5102 to support hierarchical structured data and lists (sequences) of Information Elements in data records. This extension allows definition of complex data structures such as variable-length lists and specification of hierarchical containment relationships between Templates. Finally, the semantics are provided in order to express the relationship among multiple list elements in a structured data record. [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.
