Information Model for IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX)
Abstract
This document defines the data types and management policy for the
information model for the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX)
protocol. This information model is maintained as the IANA "IPFIX
Information Elements" registry, the initial contents of which were
defined by RFC 5102. This information model is used by the IPFIX
protocol for encoding measured traffic information and information
related to the traffic Observation Point, the traffic Metering
Process, and the Exporting Process. Although this model was
developed for the IPFIX protocol, it is defined in an open way that
allows it to be easily used in other protocols, interfaces, and
applications. This document obsoletes RFC 5102.
