Description of Working Group:
This working group has three main objectives:
* Consider current issues in traffic flow measurement, such as
- Security issues relating to both traffic measuring devices and to the data they produce.
- Policy issues relating to traffic measurement and usage accounting, for example any requirements these may place on emerging network protocols
- Existing work in traffic flow measurement, including that of IETF Working Groups such as bmwg/ippm, rsvp and rmonmib, as well as that by vendors and independent researchers
* Produce an improved Traffic Flow Model considering at least the following needs:
- wider range of measurable quantities, e.g. those relating to IPv6, and to class of service - simpler ways to specify flows of interest - better ways to control access to measured flow data - strong focus on data reduction capabilities - efficient hardware implementation
* Develop the RTFM Architecture and Meter MIB as 'standards track' documents with the IETF.
