Flow Aggregation for the IP Flow Information Export Protocol
RFC 7015, “Flow Aggregation for the IP Flow Information Export Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2013 by B. Trammell, A. Wagner, B. Claise. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document provides a common implementation-independent basis for the interoperable application of the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) protocol to the handling of Aggregated Flows, which are IPFIX Flows representing packets from multiple Original Flows sharing some set of common properties. It does this through a detailed terminology and a descriptive Intermediate Aggregation Process architecture, including a specification of methods for Original Flow counting and counter distribution across intervals.
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.
