The IPFIX working group has specified the Information Model (to describe IP flows) and the IPFIX protocol (to transfer IP flow data from IPFIX exporters to collectors). Several implementers have already built applications using the IPFIX protocol. As a result of a series of IPFIX interoperability testing events the WG has produced guidelines for IPFIX implementation and testing as well as recommendations for handling special cases such as bidirectional flow reporting and reducing redundancy in flow records. Practical experiences with IPFIX implementations exposed new requirements for the IPFIX protocol that so far have not been addressed by the WG. The major current goal of the WG is developing solutions that meet the new requirements without modifying the core IPFIX protocol specifications. 1. The IPFIX WG has developed a MIB module for monitoring IPFIX implementations. Means for configuring these devices have not been standardized yet. The WG will develop an XML-based configuration data model that can be used for configuring IPFIX devices and for storing, modifying and managing IPFIX configurations parameter sets. This work will be performed in close collaboration with the NETCONF WG. 2. There is a need for storing measured flow information and for exchanging this information between different systems and organizations. The WG will develop a common IPFIX file format for storing flow data in order to facilitate interoperability and reusability among a wide variety of flow storage, processing, and analysis tools. It will be a flat-file format using binary encodings that are based on the IPFIX message format. 3. When dealing with enterprise-specific information elements in IPFIX flow records, it often occurs that the receiver of the record does not know the definition of the information element. For processing such information elements it would be desirable for the receiver to know at least the data types of the enterprise-specific information elements. The WG will develop an extension to IPFIX that provides means for the encoding of IPFIX data type information within an IPFIX Message stream. 4. Another requirement resulting from practical use of IPFIX is reporting IPFIX template records and corresponding data records within the same SCTP stream. The IPFIX WG will develop guidelines for this use case. 5. First applications of IPFIX at large operator networks showed the need for mediation of flow information, for example, for aggregating huge amounts of flow data and for anomymization of flow information. The IPFIX WG will investigate this issue and produce a problem statement and a framework for IPFIX flow mediation. 6. The PSAMP WG has developed a protocol for reporting observed packets. The PSAMP protocol is an extension of the IPFIX protocol. The IPFIX WG will develop a MIB module for monitoring PSAMP implementations. The new MIB module will be an extension of the IPFIX MIB module.
