Appendix A. XML Specification of IPFIX Information Elements . . 15
1. Introduction
Section 4 of [RFC7012] defines the IPFIX Information Elements (IEs)
in the range of 1-127 to be compatible with the NetFlow version 9
fields, as specified in "Cisco Systems NetFlow Services Export
Version 9" [RFC3954]. As [RFC3954] was published in 2004, it does
not contain all NetFlow version 9 field types in the range of 1-127.
The question was asked whether IPFIX Devices should exclusively
report the IANA IPFIX IEs [IANA-IPFIX]. In other words, when
upgrading from a NetFlow Metering Process to an IPFIX Metering
Process, should the IPFIX Devices stop reporting IEs specific to
NetFlow version 9 that were not registered in IANA [IANA-IPFIX]?
Yourtchenko, et al. Informational [Page 2]
^L
RFC 7270 Cisco Information Elements June 2014
This document is intended to fill the gap in this IE range. It
describes some additional IPFIX Information Elements in the range of
1-127, which is the range compatible with field types used by NetFlow
version 9 in [RFC3954], as specified in the IPFIX Information Model
[RFC7012]. With this, IPFIX implementations could export all the
Information Elements specified in IANA [IANA-IPFIX], regardless of
the range.
This document follows the rules in "Guidelines for Authors and
Reviewers of IP Flow Export (IPFIX) Information Elements" [RFC7013].
This document does not extend [RFC3954]. The IPFIX Protocol
[RFC7011] has its own Information Model ([RFC7012] and IANA
[IANA-IPFIX]), which is extensible upon application to IANA, subject
to expert review by IE-DOCTORS [RFC7013]. This document extends the
IPFIX Information Model.
2. Terminology
IPFIX-specific terminology used in this document is defined in
Section 2 of [RFC7011]. As in [RFC7011], these IPFIX-specific terms
have the first letter of a word capitalized when used in this
document.
3. Information Elements Overview
The following Information Elements are discussed in the sections
below:
+----+-----------------------+-----+---------------------------+
| ID | Name | ID | Name |
+----+-----------------------+-----+---------------------------+
| 34 | samplingInterval | 84 | samplerName |
