Abstract Abstract
This document specifies the Compressed IPFIX protocol that serves for This document specifies the Compressed IPFIX protocol that serves for
transmitting smart metering data in 6LoWPAN networks [RFC4944]. transmitting smart metering data in 6LoWPAN networks [RFC4944].
Compressed IPFIX is derived from IPFIX [RFC5101] and adopted to the Compressed IPFIX is derived from IPFIX [RFC5101] and adopted to the
needs of constrained networks. This documents specifies how the needs of constrained networks. This documents specifies how the
Compressed IPFIX Data and Template Records are transmitted in 6LoWPAN Compressed IPFIX Data and Template Records are transmitted in 6LoWPAN
networks and how Compressed IPFIX data can be converted into networks and how Compressed IPFIX data can be converted into
uncompressed IPFIX data in a proxy device. uncompressed IPFIX data in a proxy device.
