Ballot Text

Technical Summary 

  This document's title is "Cisco Systems Export of Application Information in IPFIX".
  It points out that various vendors implement different
  ways of determining the type of application producing a flow, but
  that we need an RFC-specified way of exporting that information
  using IPFIX.  The document describes a taxonomy of application
  types, ordered by 'classification engine IDs.'  These IDs are
  mostly IANA registries, but the document also proposes new one
  called PANA-Lx (where Lx can be L2, L3 or L4) for Proprietary Layer
  3 definitions.  The intention here is that vendors could publish
  their own sets of Application IDs, so that they would be freely
  available.

Working Group Summary 

  This is an Individual Submission, but - as mentioned above - it has
  been discussed, and received considerable support in the IPFIX
  Working Group.

Document Quality 

  The document does not define a new protocol, instead it defines a
  set of new IPFIX Information IDs; I see no difficulties with these.
