Dear all, At the last IETF Meeting, we discussed the possibility of an IPFIX interop. To give some background information, the goal was mainly to progress RFC5101 to RFC5101bis. However, based on the justification below (My email whose subject was "Re: [IPFIX] RFC 2026 versus RFC6410: progressing a document"), it's no required to test every single features to progress the standards track. So we could progress RFC5101bis. So I guess that the IPFIX interop will not take place. Correct?
