Description of Working Group
This working group has three main objectives:
o Review existing work in traffic flow measurement, including that of
the RMON and Internet Accounting working groups and published work
from independent researchers.
o Produce an improved Traffic Flow Model considering at least the
following:
- efficient hardware implementation
- effect of IPv6 on traffic measurement
- extension of the accounting model to widen the
range of measurable quantities
- simpler ways to specify flows of interest
- maintain existing focus on data reduction capabilities
o Develop the Flow Meter MIB as a 'standards track' document with the
IETF.
