Hello,
I would like to get clarifications around the use of Options Template in RF=
C 6728.  RFC 7011 permits the creation of an ipfix options template (e.g., =
an options template containing one or more scopes with multiple data fields=
 - e.g., Ethernet UNI scope with data records on number of in-octets/out-oc=
tets/etc).  RFC 7011 does not forbid a vendor choosing to only use options =
template and records.

RFC 6728 has an options class that defines an options timeout.  If you are =
only using options template, which timeout takes precedence (export interva=
l in the permanent cache OR options class timeout)?  If you are only using =
options template (but that options template is outside the optionstype list=
ed in RFC6728 option type, is the options class even appropriate to use ?

Regards,

Marta
