Fwd: [IPFIX] Export of MIB variable in IPFIX: new IETF draft

  Ron and Dan,

Since this draft concerns a (kind of) consolidation between two data 
models within OPS, it might make sense to also present this work in the 
OPS-AREA meeting. What do you think?

Regards, Benoit.

Dear all,

Andrew, Paul, and I posted this new draft, "Exporting MIB variables
using the IPFIX Protocol".
http://www.ietf.org/staging/draft-johnson-ipfix-mib-variable-export-00.txt

        Abstract

           This document specifies a way to export Management
           Information Base (MIB) objects within the IPFIX protocol,
           avoiding the need to define new IPFIX Information Elements
           for existing Management Information Base objects that are
           already fully specified.

           This method requires an extension to the current IPFIX
           protocol.  New Template Set and Options Template Sets are
           specified to allow the export of Simple Network Management
           Protocol (SNMP) MIB Objects.


The problem we want to solve is that we keep development two data models
for a unique information model (*) , i.e. MIB and IPFIX information
elements, which are overlapping. For example: there is an IPFIX
information element representing the ifName MIB Object. Note that some
more advantages are specified in the draft.
(*) RFC 3444, "On the Difference between Information Models and Data Models"

Please read it and send your feedback.

I would like to have a slot at the next meeting to present this work.

Regards, Benoit.
