[IPFIX] latency reporting

Hi all,

I've been doing some review and clean up of my local IE database and I 
see around a dozen IEs related to latency and RTT from various 
exporters/vendors.  This seems like a measurement that could use a 
standard IE for reporting.  Here are my thoughts so far...

Name: latencyMilliseconds
Type: unsigned32
Semantic: quantity
Description: latency measured in milliseconds.
Units: milliseconds

Name: roundTripTimeMilliseconds
Type: unsigned32
Semantic: quantity
Description: Round trip time measured in milliseconds.
Units: milliseconds

Perhaps the above needs to be fleshed out with some Extended Field 
Specifiers as has been discussed recently for jitter.

On a related note an IE that I am not seeing from most of the exporters 
sending latency information, but which can be useful when diagnosing 
problems is out of order packet information.

Name: outOfOrderPacketDeltaCount
Type: unsigned64
Semantic: deltaCounter
Description: The number of out of order packets since the previous 
report (if any) for this Flow at the Observation Point.
Units: packets

Name: outOfOrderPacketTotalCount
Type: unsigned64
Semantic: totalCounter
Description: The total number of out of order packets for this Flow at 
the Observation Point since the Metering Process (re-)initialization for 
this Observation Point.
Units: packets
