Specification of the IP Flow Information Export Protocol for the Exchange of Flow Information
RFC 7011, “Specification of the IP Flow Information Export Protocol for the Exchange of Flow Information”, is an Internet Standard document published in September 2013 by B. Claise, B. Trammell, P. Aitken. It obsoletes RFC 5101. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) protocol, which serves as a means for transmitting Traffic Flow information over the network. In order to transmit Traffic Flow information from an Exporting Process to a Collecting Process, a common representation of flow data and a standard means of communicating them are required. This document describes how the IPFIX Data and Template Records are carried over a number of transport protocols from an IPFIX Exporting Process to an IPFIX Collecting Process. This document obsoletes RFC 5101.
What “Internet Standard” means
A mature, widely-implemented specification that has completed the full IETF standards process — the highest maturity level on the standards track.
