Re: [IPFIX] EARLY DRAFT agenda for IPFIX at Taipei IETF

Hi, Nevil, all,

I'd like to ask for 5-10 minutes somewhere to talk about what I see as a looming open issue in the application of structured data. Specifically, as defined, the generic container IEs carry no semantic information about their contents into the template, which breaks the very nice (if only implicitly intentional) property of IPFIX that a collector's interest in a record can be determined at the time that its template is parsed. Using the basicList semantic data type (as opposed to the basicList IE) to create new Information Elements which carry that information would fix this problem (i.e. creating a new mplsLabelStackList basicList IE that would contain mplsLabelStackSection IEs), but would require some new mechanism (or merely process) to ensure that a container's semantics matched its con
 tents.

We can take some time from the aggregation draft, the changes to which are almost completely editorial, and I anticipate needing no more than two minutes to mention them.

Thanks,

Brian
