Dear all, 

as you may have seen a new version of draft-ietf-ipfix-mib was published.
Changes in this version are:

- removed global ipfixExportVersion
- added version information per Transport Session
- removed ipfixTemplateObservationDomainId and ipfixTemplateId as index in
the ipfixExportTable
- minor editorial fixes

One point that recently was raised by Gerhard is still open:

- add Observation Domain Id into the Observation Point table if possible

Best Regards,

Thomas

To state the applicability of mediator, it would be preferable to
mention more concrete device and specific scenario. 
Although we can replace all of specific mediator with mediator, but we
should say somewhere what is the difference between mediator and
concentrator/proxy in RFC3917.

Thank you for your suggestion. 
Security Considerations section in RFC 5655 could be applied to
Exporter-Mediator-Collector structure. I would add the following 
paragraph by its reference, is it fine?

o  End-to-End Assertions

Note that End-to-End channel that is Exporter-to-Collector via Mediator
channel may be untrusted, even though the Mediator-to-Collector channel
is trusted. When the Mediator-to-Collector channel is trusted and the
Exporter and the Mediator are identified by their certificates,
the Data Records may be implicitly asserted to be trusted.

Sorry for that.

Hi,

I am overall fine with the doc.

small changes however would help such as;
section 4.1, last para mentions the need of system not relying on
data reduction techniques, section 4.4 contradicts it.

section 1, first para, between first and second line could mention
that "traffic monitoring is taxing on the resources" and hence the need
for optimization( ie the 2nd line).
last line in the para says "platform", is it required?

perhaps having a figure showing the position of ipfix-med amongst
other layers( section 2)
would be a nice addition.

BR,
-Sujay

Hi Benoit, all,

I've also got a few comments on the draft ipfix-export-per-sctp-=20
stream-04:


2.3. Limitations:
"This method requires multiple SCTP streams in the association between =20=

the Exporting and Collecting Process, ideally one per Template."

No - if we had only one Template in the association, we would not need =20=

multiple SCTP streams.


3.1.1. IPFIX Protocol Specifications Limitation:
"Note that a workaround allowed by the IPFIX specifications [RFC5101] =20=

is to use only one Template Record per SCTP Transport Session, at the =20=

cost of multiplying the number of SCTP Transport Sessions when =20
multiple Template Records are required."

This paragraph sounds a little misplaced, as it already mentions the =20
performance impact. After reading it, I was wondering what other =20
method would be proposed in this draft.


4.2. Template Management:
"Any Data Sets associated with a Template Record MUST be sent on the =20
same SCTP stream on which the Template Record was sent."

According to rfc5101, an Options Template Record is a Template Record. =20=

Later in the same section you specify: "When the Options Template and =20=

associated Data Records are sent in different SCTP streams, [...]".
Isn't this a contradiction, or am I missing something here?


4.5. The Collecting Process's Side:
"3. A Data Record is received unreliably although it is expected to be =20=

sent reliably (due to a previously received Data Record associated =20
with the Data Record Reliability Options Template)."

Is it possible for the receiving side of a SCTP connection to =20
determine which SCTP messages were sent unreliably? I did not find any =20=

indication of that in rfc3758. T=10he receiving side only knows if =20
complete messages or fragments are skipped.


4.5. The Collecting Process's Side:
"In the case where the Exporting Process does not support the [...]"

This paragraph is a duplicate.


6. Examples:
In Figure 3, you seem to use the Options Reliability Template 257 =20
(defined in Figure 1) that was received in another stream. A small =20
remark would be good which indicates, that all streams belong to the =20
same SCTP association.


Thanks,
Tobi

Indeed, this formulation can be relaxed a little bit.

Not sure if you got the paragraph right. It talks about SCTP Transport=20
Sessions, not SCTP streams. Using different Transport Sessions requires=20
indeed much more overhead (e.g., multiple sockets) than just having=20
multiple streams in one Transport Session.

This is a flaw of IPFIX terminology.

In the text, we tried to consistently use "(Options) Template" if we=20
talk about both Options and non-Options Templates. The sentence above is =

just about non-Options Templates.

Not sure, how we can make this more comprehensible. Maybe a note in the=20
terminology section?

I think you are right. We need to check.

I think a statement in the Terminology section for Mediator could  
easily state "Note that the Mediator is a generalization of the  
Concentrator and Proxy elements envisioned in the IPFIX Requirements  
[RFC3917]; Mediators running appropriate Intermediate Processes  
provide the functionality specified therein." and then we can dispense  
with the 3917-legacy language. But only if we want to go that route.  
At this point, as I said, it's not really important and we've burned  
enough time on it, so I'm happy letting it go as is.

hm, not exactly... While the problem is analogous, the end-to-end  
assertion language was a direct reply to a question raised by Sam  
Hartman about the applicability of an EP->CP->File path for law  
enforcement applications, where certain chain of evidence requirements  
are imposed on what the File knows about the EP. The problem with  
mediators is a general case of this.

Further, the Collector cannot know a priori that the Mediator got a  
good certificate from the Exporter. We can use a similar approach to  
File, and state that a Mediator must not sign a TLS session when the  
data source was not verified; of course, this breaks the potential use  
case where a Mediator is used to retransmit non-encrypted UDP messages  
from a private messages to the open internet over DTLS/SCTP or TLS/ 
TCP. So we have to be careful there.

Actually, on second thought, _solving_ this problem should be done in  
the Framework, not the Problem Statement. So I'd defer the hard work  
of actually making this consistent to the later draft.

No problem. :) I lose the second 'L' about a quarter of the time.

Oh right, I misunderstood. But then you should always use the term =20

Yes, I agree, as you are using this terminology in the whole document.

You and Gerhard share same opinion. If other members including
co-authors agree so, I will try to follow the above suggestion.

If we consider more general case, it is a little bit hard work at this

Yes, above use case is conceivable. As you mentioned, applicable use
cases and security requirement seem a contradictory argument.

Let me explain this issue a bit more.

We have the following Observation Point table:


ipfixObservationPointTable(6)
|
+-ipfixObservationPointEntry(1)=20
[ipfixObservationPointGroupId,ipfixObservationPointIndex]
   |
   + Unsigned32          ipfixObservationPointGroupId(1)
   + Unsigned32          ipfixObservationPointIndex(2)
   + PhysicalIndexOrZero ipfixObservationPointPhysicalEntity(3)
   + Enumeration         ipfixObservationPointPhysicalEntityDirection(4)


 From this table, it is not possible to retrieve the Observation Domain=20
ID of an Observation Point.

If an IPFIX Exporter establishes a Transport Session to a Collector,=20
there is an entry in the Transport Session table.  Associated to this=20
entry, we have the Templates in the Template table.  There, we can=20
finally find the Observation Domain ID.

This procedure is quite complicated and does not work if no Transport=20
Sessions are established.


Possible solutions:

1) We do not care because nobody is interested in the mapping between=20
Observation Points and Observation Domains.

2) We add ipfixObservationPointObservationDomainId to the Observation=20
Point table (as a normal parameter, not as an index).


Personally, I prefer solution 2.


There is a related issue regarding the relationship between Observation=20
Domain and Metering Process.


RFC5101 says:

    Observation Domain

       An Observation Domain is the largest set of Observation Points for=

       which Flow information can be aggregated by a Metering Process.


Some people interpreted this definition as if only packets of a single=20
Observation Domain may enter a Metering Process/Cache.  In this case, it =

follows that Observations Points sharing the same=20
ipfixObservationPointGroupId must have identical Observation Domain ID=20
values.  This fact could be added in the description clause of=20
ipfixObservationPointGroupId:
   "All Observation Points belonging to the same group must belong to the=

    same Observation Domain."

However, I understand the definition differently.  IMO, it does not say=20
that packets from different Observation Domains must not enter the same=20
Metering Process.  It just says that a single Flow Record only accounts=20
packets of a single Observation Domain.  To achieve this, it is=20
sufficient that the Metering Process/Cache treats the Observation Domain =

ID as an additional Flow Key.


It would be nice to get to an agreement regarding the understanding of=20
the relationship between Observation Domain and Metering Process.

The outcome does not only concern the IPFIX-MIB, but also the=20
configuration data model.

Best regards,
Gerhard

Dear all,

Regarding draft-ietf-ipfix-structured-data, I see the risk that the
semantic of the exported structured data is not clear.

How do you interpret the manifold occurrence of the same Information
Element (basicList) or the same group of Information Elements
(subTemplateList) in one record?

What does it mean if basicList, subTemplateList, or subTemplateMultiList
is used for a Flow Key field? Or non-key field?

Some Examples:

- BasicList of egress interfaces in a Flow Record
  How should a Flow Record be interpreted which contains a list of
  egress interfaces and a packet counter?
  Has every counted packet been sent on every egress interface?
    => multicast case, AND semantic (see example in section 8.1)
  Has every counted packet been sent on any one of the egress
  interfaces?
    => load balancing case, OR semantic
  Can it be used as a Flow Key or not?

- BasicList of destination ports in a Flow Record
  As every packet has only one destination port, the only reasonable
  interpretation is that the Flow contains packets having one of
  the reported port numbers.
    => OR semantic
  This would be a non-key field.


I think there are two solutions:

1. We decide that the semantic of list content is out of scope of
   draft-ietf-ipfix-structured-data. We add a note to the draft that
   the semantic must be clear from the context or the definition of the
   Information Elements used within the lists.

2. We define semantic lists, such as
   - andBasicList, andSubTemplateList, andSubTemplateMultiList
   - orBasicList, orSubTemplateList, orSubTempalteMultiList
   describing AND and OR semantic of the contained IEs/Templates,
   respectively.


As I wrote in an earlier mail, I see a good use case for orBasicList. It
could be used in the Selector Report Interpretation of Property Match
Filtering to report a filter like "port 80 or port 443".
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipfix/current/msg04856.html
At the moment, the Selector Report Interpretation is limited to AND.
However, if we also want to express a NOT, we still need another solution...

Regards,
Gerhard

Hi,

I use your data model to test my YANG compiler.
It is complaining about the latest version.

In 'list selectionProcess', the must-stmt has an
extra right parenthesis at the end.

Within that list, 'list selector' has a unique-stmt
for a non-config leaf (selectorId), even though that
list is config=true.

I am not sure this is an error though.
I cc:ed the NETMOD WG because it
is not clear if yang-08, sec 8.* covers this usage.

I think a config=true node can only define constraints
on other config=true nodes.  If this is not the case,
then the YANG draft (sec 8.1) should make that clear.
The data-not-unique error does not apply,
but the YANG text in sec. 13.1 does not make that clear.


thanks,
Andy

No it is ok.

Section 7.8.3. says:

   If one of the referenced leafs represents configuration data, then
   all of the referenced leafs MUST represent configuration data.

This requirment is clearly fulfilled in this case.

Section 8.1 says:

   o  If the constraint is defined on state data, it MUST be true in a
      reply to the <get> command.

This constraint is defined for state data, so it is ok.

I will fork this thread here, since I suspect that the discussion on
these details might not be of general interest.  So I will respond to
this on the NETMOD list only.

Gerhard,

Thanks for your email.
I have no strong feelings about the two solutions you proposed.

 From a pure router point of view,  I don't see any use cases for 
logical OR in exporting flow records.
However, from a IPFIX Mediator point of view, I see some use cases.
I mean that it requires an Intermediate Aggregation Process or 
Intermediate Correlation Process to express: I've seen this flow record 
OR that flow record.
Now, it's true that even routers will have mediation functions...

I'm inclined to add orBasicList, orSubTemplateList, 
orSubTempalteMultiList to the draft (This is a small addition after all) 
and to express that, by default, a logical AND is assumed... 
specifically if the structured data is used in the IPFIX Mediation Protocol.

I'm not convinced by the NOT in the context of structured data, as we 
don't even have a concept of NOT for a single information element!

I would like to get some more feedback from others.

Regards, Benoit.

IMO, I prefer these terms. but, I don't adhere my opinion. I will try to

I will change it as follows. Is it OK?

                      This document describes some problems related to
   flow-based measurement that network administrators have been facing,
   and then describes IPFIX Mediation applicability examples along with
   the problems.

I will change it as follows. Could you please rewrite it by your word,
if not fine.

1.  Introduction

   One advantage of Flow-based measurement results from easily offering
   the traffic monitoring of a huge amount of traffic.  While the usage
   is applied to any networks and to multiple measurement applications,
   network administrators need to adjust some parameters of metering
   devices and of multiple measurement applications to these resources.
   IP traffic growth and a wide variety of measurement application make
   the adjustment further difficult.  To make a measurement system
   flexible and scalable, an intermediate device can generally be
   applied to the system platform.

Is it OK?

   The IPFIX requirements defined in [RFC3917] mention examples of
   intermediate devices located between Exporters and Collectors, such
   as IPFIX proxies or concentrators.  But, there are no documents
   defining a generalized concept for such intermediate devices.  This

Actually, I am not sure how to say that.
It seems hard to include "record stream" in capitalized terms, because
it covers everything, such as IPFIX Flow Record, PSAMP Packet Record, NF
flow record, and something else. Could you put your suggestion?

Is the following paragraph fine?

   In this document, we use "record stream" to denote a set of flow- or
   packet-based information with their additional information that flows
   from data sources, whether encoded in IPFIX protocol as IPFIX Data
   Records, or non-IPFIX protocols.  In IPFIX protocol, we use the
   generic term Data Records for IPFIX Flow Records, PSAMP Packet
   Reports, and Data Records defined by Options Templates, unless an
   explicit distinction is required.

I think Yes. It indicates the usage of term Data Records to prevent
readers from confusing it with IPFIX Flow Record and PSAMP packet report.

               The problems consist of adjusting some parameters of
   metering device to the resources of the measurement system while
   fulfilling appropriate conditions: data accuracy, flow granularity,
   and export reliability.  These conditions depend on two factors.

This figure shows the situation at current level. In my opinion, these

I will change this subsection as follows.

4.1.  Coping with IP Traffic Growth

   Enterprise or service provider networks already have multiple 10 Gb/s
   links, their total traffic exceeding 100 Gb/s.  In the near future,
   broadband users' traffic will increase by approximately 40% every
   year according to [TRAFGRW].  When administrators monitor IP traffic
   sustaining its growth with existing packet sampling rate at multiple
   Exporters, the amount of exported Flow Records from Exporters could
   exceed the ability of single Collector.

   To deal with this problem, current data reduction techniques (packet
   Sampling and Filtering in [RFC5475], and aggregation of measurement
   data) have been generally implemented on Exporters.  Note that packet
   Sampling leads to potential loss of small Flows.  With both packet
   Sampling and aggregation techniques, administrators might no longer
   be able to detect and investigate subtle traffic changes and
   anomalies as this requires detailed Flow information.  With
   Filtering, only a subset of the Data Records are exported.

   Considering the potential drawbacks of packet Sampling, Filtering,
   and Data Records aggregation, there is a need for a large-scale
   collecting infrastructure that does not rely on data reduction
   techniques.

I will change it as follows.

4.4.  Summary

   In adjusting some parameters to the resources of a measurement
   system, it is important to use traffic data reduction techniques as
   early as possible, e.g., at the Exporter.  However, this
   implementation is made difficult by heterogeneous environment of
   exporting devices to meet the requirements of different monitoring
   applications.

Actually, when I started to write this subsection, it implied covering
IPFIX and NetFlow.

I will change subsection as follows.

5.1.  Adjusting Flow Granularity

   A simplest set Flow Keys is a fixed 5-tuple of protocol, source and
   destination IP addresses, and source and destination port numbers.  A
   shorter set of Flow Keys, such as a triple, a double, or a single
   property, (for example network prefix, peering autonomous system
   number, or BGP Next-Hop fields), creates more aggregated Flow
   Records.  This is especially useful for measuring router-level
   traffic matrices in a core network domain and for easily adjusting
   the performance of Exporters and Collectors.

   Implementation analysis:

      Implementations for this case depend on where Flow granularity is
      adjusted.  More suitable implementations use configurable Metering
      Processes in Original Exporters.  The cache in the Metering
      Process can specify its own set of Flow Keys and extra fields.
      The Original Exporter thus generates Flow Records of the desired
      Flow granularity.

      In the case where a Metering Process hosting no ability to change
      the Flow Keys in Original Exporter creates Flow Records, or PSAMP
      Packet Reports, an IPFIX Mediator can aggregate Data Records based
      on a new set of Flow Keys.  Even in the case where the Metering
      Process hosting this ability, an IPFIX Mediator can further
      aggregate the Flow Records.

It is router-level traffic matrices indicates traffic volumes
transmitted between every pair of end routers in core network.

Yes. I understood it. But, aggregated Flow Records is more intuitive.

Although increasing number of Collectors operated independently makes it
more capacity, we cannot measure the all of amount of traffic data.

Ok.
I will change it as follows.

   o  One-to-one correlation between Data Records

      *  One way delay from the correlation of PSAMP Packet Reports from
         different Exporters along a specific path.

      *  Packet inter-arrival time from the correlation of sequential
         PSAMP Packet Reports from a Exporter.

No, I use "Data Record". Data Records with identical Flow Keys implies it
applies Flow Record only. It applies Packet Reports with common
properties as well. I will keep it.

No. The advantage is that changes can be detected without increasing the

Interface indexes assignment policies in several vendors are different.
Some vender indexes show upper bytes indicating line card, lower byte
indicating interfaces.
By recognizing its policy, we can presume the vendors of Exporter.

I means as follows.

   o  Regarding large-scale measurement system, IPFIX Mediator with
      IPFIX File Writer helps to achieve traffic analysis with high data
      accuracy and fine flow granularity even as IP traffic grows.  As
      IPFIX Mediation capabilities, Flow sampling, aggregation, and
      composition are effective.

Hi Sujay,

I will change section 4.4 last para. Is it OK?

4.4.  Summary

   In adjusting some parameters to the resources of a measurement
   system, it is important to use traffic data reduction techniques as
   early as possible, e.g., at the Exporter.  However, this
   implementation is made difficult by heterogeneous environment of
   exporting devices.  On the other hand, keeping data accuracy and flow
   granularity to meet the requirements of different monitoring
   applications requires a scalable and flexible collecting
   infrastructure.

I will change as follows. Is it OK?

1.  Introduction

   One advantage of Flow-based measurement results from easily offering
   the traffic monitoring of a huge amount of traffic.  While the usage
   is applied to any networks and to multiple measurement applications
   taxing on the resources of the measurement system, network
   administrators need to adjust some parameters of metering devices and
   of multiple measurement applications to these resources.  IP traffic
   growth and a wide variety of measurement application make the
   adjustment further difficult.  To make a measurement system flexible
   and scalable, an intermediate device can generally be applied to the
   system.

Does your suggestion imply the Figure B in framework draft?

Hi all and co-authors,

I had the feedbacks from Brian, Gerhard, Ishibashi-san, and Sujay during
WGLC. Thank you very much. I improved it as the next version of problem
statement as follows.

http://www.nttv6.net/~akoba/draft-ietf-ipfix-mediators-problem-statement-07-00.txt

You can see the difference between current version(-06) and new
version(-07).
http://www.nttv6.net/~akoba/diff-mediators-ps-06-07.htm

If you have additional comments and suggestions, let me know.

Regards,
Atsushi

hi Benoit, Gerhard,

In this case I'm strongly in favor of leaving semantics out of  
structured data. Structured data defines containers. The semantics of  
the containers as a whole and the elements change based upon the  
information elements within the container and within the record  
containing it. Wedging semantics into the structured data elements 1.  
risks further proliferation of (potentially non-interoperable) ways to  
represent the same thing, 2. gives us more ways to represent  
nonsensical things (an OR basicList of MPLS stack  
entries...means...what?), and 3. risks defining an inadequate semantic  
representation mechanism (what about semantics for records not using  
structured data? what about ordered versus unordered sets? what about  
OR basicList vs AND basicList vs nested AND and OR basicLists vs just  
three identical IEs?). If we really want an unambiguous semantic  
framework for IPFIX (and here I'm not convinced either way) that's  
best done on its own, addressing things at the information element and  
record level. Doing it here confuses the issue.

Regards,

Brian

To understand why this might be interesting, consider the following use=20
case:

You receive an IPFIX message with an Observation Domain ID value in the=20
message header. Now, you want to query the IPFIX-MIB which are the=20
Observation Points.

Stating that there exists a complicated solution was a mistake!
In fact, it is not possible to get the information in the general case.

Explanation:

 From ipfixTransportSessionTable, we can get the=20
ipfixObservationDomainId per ipfixTemplateEntry used in a given=20
Transport Session (using ipfixTransportSessionIndex as common index).

On the other hand, we can link the ipfixTransportSessionEntry to one or=20
multiple ipfixMeteringProcessCacheIds with help of the ipfixExportTable. =

Only if the Transport Session is linked to a single Metering Process, we =

can go further and find the ipfixMeteringProcessObservationPointGroupRef =

in the ipfixMeteringProcessTable.

If ipfixExportTable relates one ipfixTransportSessionEntry to multiple=20
ipfixMeteringProcessCacheIds, we may find several=20
ipfixMeteringProcessObservationPointGroupRef values pointing to multiple =

ipfixObservationPointGroupEntries. Then, we do not know how to do a=20
one-to-one-mapping between multiple Observation Domain IDs and multiple=20
Observation Point groups.


So, in summary, the IPFIX MIB is useless for the use case mentioned=20
above. Adding ipfixObservationPointObservationDomainId solves this proble=
m.

Regards,
Gerhard

Hi Atsushi,

I am fine with the changes, Yes I was suggesting the figure in .04
version, but it
seems it was removed for a good reason in the later drafts.
The description text is also sufficient to visualize it.

Hi All,

I am currently going through IPFIX file format spec (
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5655). I am wondering if I there are sample
IPFIX files that I can play with. Any pointers?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
dharani

Patrick,

Knowing the draft that you have reviewed (as we discussed it together 
privately), your comment concerns the Working Group Last Call on the 
Mediation Problem Statement: 
draft-ietf-ipfix-mediators-problem-statement-06... and not 
draft-claise-ipfix-mediation-protocol-00.txt as the subject expresses.

Regards, Benoit.

I'm not sure what is the agreement, and if we should add something in 
the terminology.

Template is not used as generic term for Options Template.

greetings Tobi, Benoit, all,

Template and Options Template aren't disjoint sets, and are not =20
defined ambiguously. An Options Template is essentially a subclass of =20=

Template. There's simply no abstract superclass by which we can refer =20=

to "Template but not Options Template" as separate from "Template =20
including Options Template". So introducing this language here risks =20
confusing the point more, I think.

Suggest instead "Note that in this document, "'(Options) Template' is =20=

used in this document to refer to Templates and Options Templates."

Regards,

Brian

I like what Brian proposal because, when I read "In this document, 
Template and Options Template describe disjoint sets, and Template is 
not used as generic term for Options Template.", it seems that there is 
something wrong with the terminology... and this is not the case.
Brian's proposal is actually a clarification, which is always good!

Regards, Benoit.

Hm. Brian's proposal is very vague about my main issue, that Options =20
Template is not a subclass of Template. In my opinion, this is a small =20=

ambiguity in in the terminology of rfc5101, and I wanted to explicitly =20=

clarify this problem.

But maybe it's just my way of thinking that's getting in the way here?

Bye,
Tobi

Hi all,

The original issue was this one:

 >>> 4.2. Template Management:
 >>> "Any Data Sets associated with a Template Record MUST be sent on
 >>> the  same SCTP stream on which the Template Record was sent."
 >>> According to rfc5101, an Options Template Record is a Template
 >>> Record.  Later in the same section you specify: "When the Options
 >>> Template and  associated Data Records are sent in different SCTP
 >>> streams, [...]".
 >>> Isn't this a contradiction, or am I missing something here?

Even if we can add Brian's sentence to the terminology section, this=20
does not help here.

So, in addition to Brian's proposal, we could replace "Template Record"=20
by "non-Option Template Record" in the first sentence. Of course, the=20
sentence becomes messy :(

Regards,
Gerhard

Hi Dharani,

actually I would be interested in some sample files, too. We =20
implemented a module for Vermont that writes IPFIX records to files =20
according to rfc5655, but were not able to compare it with other =20
implementations.

A sample file can be found here:
<http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~limmer/files/ipfix.dump.gz>

This is an anonymized dump coming from our laboratory.

bye,
Tobi

How about, to maximize clarity:

Terminology:

Note that in this document, '(Options) Template'  is used in this =20
document to refer to Templates and Options Templates. Unless otherwise =20=

specified, 'Template' alone refers to Templates exclusive of Options =20
Templates.

4.2 paragraph 3:

OLD:

Any Data Sets associated with a Template Record MUST be sent on the =20
same SCTP stream on which the Template Record was sent.

NEW:

Data Sets associated with a Template Record MUST be sent on the same =20
SCTP stream on which the Template Record was sent. Options MAY be sent =20=

on SCTP streams other than that on which the Options Template Record =20
associated with them was sent.

Regards,

Brian

Actually, you took the dataRecordsReliability definition from 
draft-ietf-ipfix-export-per-sctp-stream-03
 and not from draft-ietf-ipfix-export-per-sctp-stream-04.
This is the change I applied.

OLD:
     4.1. New Information Element

        dataRecordsReliability
        
           Description:
                The reliability of the export of Data Records, within
                this SCTP stream, for all Data Records associated with a
                given Template ID.  A value of 'true' means that the
                Exporting Process MUST send any Data Records associated
                with the Template ID reliably within this SCTP stream. 
                A value of 'false' means that the Exporting Process MAY
                send any Data Records associated with the Template ID
                unreliably within this SCTP stream.


NEW:
     4.1. New Information Element

        dataRecordsReliability
        
           Description:
                The reliability of the export of Data Records, within
                this SCTP stream, for the element(s) in the Options 
Template
                scope, usually a templateID.  A value of 'true' means 
that the
                Exporting Process MUST send any Data Records associated
                with the Template ID reliably within this SCTP stream. 
                A value of 'false' means that the Exporting Process MAY

As I do not know what you want to say, it is difficult for me to rewrite
it in my own words.

You could start like this:

An advantage of Flow-based measurement is that it allows monitoring hugh
amounts of traffic observed at distributed observation points.
Flow-based measurement may serve various purposes and applications with
very different requirements.

I do not understand this semi-phrase. What do you mean by "to these
resources"?

Why is it more difficult to adjust parameters in the presence of IP
traffic growth?
In the first sentence, you write that Flow-based measurement can monitor
huge amounts of traffic, so traffic growth should not be a problem.

Maybe you can discuss and clarify this paragraph with your co-authors.
I can hardly guess what the reasoning is supposed to be.

What about:

In this document, we call "record stream" a stream of records carrying
flow- or packet-based information. The records may be encoded as IPFIX
Data Records in any other format.

I think the contrary. This sentence may confuse the reader.

"In IPFIX protocol" is wrong because the "PSAMP Packet Report" does not
appear in RFC5101.
Therefore, it seems that you redefine the term Data Record, also this is
not what you want to do.

If you really think that the sentence is necessary, maybe you like this:
"Note that the term Data Records comprises IPFIX Flow Records, PSAMP
Packet Reports, and Data Records defined by Options Templates."

BTW: In IPFIX-CONFIG, I also use this term in the same way without
providing any further explanation.

Still not sure what you mean.
The original exporter measures traffic, not the collector.
If you cannot measure all the traffic, you need more powerful routers.

IMO, the hierarchy is useful to gather data which has been collected at
different places in the network. But the hierarchy is not needed to
deploy distributed collectors.

Ok. But I would not say that disclosing an interface index automatically
discloses a vulnerability.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Flow Information Export Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: IPFIX Export per SCTP Stream
	Author(s)	: B. Claise, P. Aitken, A. Johnson, G. Muenz
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ipfix-export-per-sctp-stream-05.txt
	Pages		: 23
	Date		: 2009-11-18
	
This document specifies an extension to the specifications 
        in RFC5101, IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX), when using 
        the Partial Reliability extension of SCTP (PR-SCTP, Partial 
        Reliability Stream Control Transmission Protocol). 
        When implemented at both the Exporting and Collecting Processes, 
        this method offers several advantages such as the ability to 
        calculate Data Record losses for PR-SCTP, immediate export of 
        Template Withdrawal Messages, immediate reuse of Template IDs 
        within an SCTP stream, reduced likelihood of Data Record loss, 
        and reduced demands on the Collecting Process.  When implemented 
        in only the Collecting or Exporting Process then normal IPFIX 
        behavior will be seen without these additional benefits.

This draft is a work item of the IP Flow Information Export Working Group of the IETF.


	Title           : IP Flow Anonymisation Support
	Author(s)       : E. Boschi, B. Trammell
	Filename        : draft-ietf-ipfix-anon-01.txt
	Pages           : 37
	Date            : 2009-11-19

This document describes anonymisation techniques for IP flow data and
the export of anonymised data using the IPFIX protocol.  It provides
a categorization of common anonymisation schemes and defines the
parameters needed to describe them.  It provides guidelines for the
implementation of anonymised data export and storage over IPFIX, and
describes an Options-based method for anonymisation metadata export
within the IPFIX protocol, providing the basis for the definition of
information models for configuring anonymisation techniques within an
IPFIX Metering or Exporting Process, and for reporting the technique
in use to an IPFIX Collecting Process.

Greetings, all,

We've posted a -01 revision of the anon draft. Changes from -00 include:

1. Added new sections on reverse truncation anonymisation for address  
information, and corresponding value of the anonymisationTechnique IE.
2. Extended the anonymisationStability IE to provide special-purpose  
modification flags, now renamed anonymisationFlags.
3. Added section on perimeter-based anonymisation, allowing different  
policies for internal and external addresses without requiring  
perimeter biflows (via anonymisationFlags)
4. Added ability to note a value is partially anonymised, with low  
order bits left real to adapt to linear pattern recognition attacks  
due to scan traffic (via anonymisationFlags)
5. Added guidelines on special use address space
6. We have examples now

The document is now structurally complete. Please have a look;  
comments are of course as always welcome.

Best regards,

Brian

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Flow Information Export Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: IPFIX Export per SCTP Stream
	Author(s)	: B. Claise, P. Aitken, A. Johnson, G. Muenz
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ipfix-export-per-sctp-stream-06.txt
	Pages		: 23
	Date		: 2009-11-19
	
This document specifies an extension to the specifications 
        in RFC5101, IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX), when using 
        the Partial Reliability extension of SCTP (PR-SCTP, Partial 
        Reliability Stream Control Transmission Protocol). 
        When implemented at both the Exporting and Collecting Processes, 
        this method offers several advantages such as the ability to 
        calculate Data Record losses for PR-SCTP, immediate export of 
        Template Withdrawal Messages, immediate reuse of Template IDs 
        within an SCTP stream, reduced likelihood of Data Record loss, 
        and reduced demands on the Collecting Process.  When implemented 
        in only the Collecting or Exporting Process then normal IPFIX 
        behavior will be seen without these additional benefits.

Dear all,

After discussing the version 04 at the last IETF meeting, we included in 
version 05 some more improvements as suggested by Brian, Toby, and
others. The version 6 addressed a small technical correction that we 
overlooked. Please review this.

According to the conclusions in our last IETF76 IPFIX meeting, one week 
is allowed to give feedback before moving on this draft back to IESG.

Note: I sent that email one week ago, but only to the Cisco internal 
IPFIX mailing list :-(

Regards, Benoit.
