Internet-Draft IPFIX Type Information August 2007
1. Introduction
The IPFIX protocol specification allows the creation of enterprise-
specific Information Elements to easily extend the protocol to meet
requirements which aren't covered by the existing Information Model.
However, IPFIX Templates provide only the ability to export the size
of the fields defined by these Information Elements; there is no
mechanism to provide full type information for these Information
Elements as is defined for the Information Elements in the IPFIX
Information Model.
This limits the interoperability of enterprise-specific Information
Elements. It is not possible to use analysis tools on IPFIX records
containing these partially defined Information Elements that have not
been developed with a priori knowledge of their types, since such
tools will not be able to decode them; these tools can only treat and
store them as opaque octet arrays. However, if richer information is
available, additional operations such as efficient storage, display,
and limited analysis of records containing enterprise-specific
Information Elements become possible, even for Collecting Processes
that had not been specifically developed to understand them.
This document proposes a mechanism to encode the full set of
properties available for the definition of Information Elements
within the IPFIX Information Model inline within an IPFIX Message
stream using IPFIX Options. This mechanism may be used to fully
define type information for Information Elements used within a
message stream, without resort to an external reference or reliance
on out-of-band configuration.
2. Terminology
Terms used in this document that are defined in the Terminology
section of the IPFIX Protocol [I-D.ietf-ipfix-protocol] document are
to be interpreted as defined there.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
3. Type Information Export
This section describes the mechanism used to encode Information
Element type information within an IPFIX Message stream. This
mechanism consists of an Options Template Record used to define
Information Element type records, and a set of Information Elements
Boschi, et al. Expires February 25, 2008 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft IPFIX Type Information August 2007
required by these type records. We first specify the necessary
Information Elements, followed by the Information Element Type
Options Template itself. Note that Information Element type records
require one Information Element, informationElementId, that is
defined in the PSAMP Information Model [I-D.ietf-psamp-info].
3.1. informationElementDataType
Description: A description of the storage type of an IPFIX
information element. These correspond to the abstract data types
defined in section 3.1 of the IPFIX Information Model
[I-D.ietf-ipfix-info]; see that section for more information on
the types described below. This field may take the following
values:
+-------+----------------------+
| Value | Description |
+-------+----------------------+
| 0x00 | octetArray |
| 0x01 | unsigned8 |
| 0x02 | unsigned16 |

3.8. privateEnterpriseNumber
Description: A private enterprise number used to scope an
informationElementID, as would appear in an IPFIX Template Record.
This element can be used to scope properties to a specific
Information Element. If the Enterprise ID bit of the
corresponding Information Element is cleared (has the value 0),
this IE should be set to 0. The presence of a non-zero value in
this IE implies that the Enterprise ID bit of the corresponding
Information Element is set (has the value 1).
Abstract Data Type: unsigned32
Data Type Semantics: identifier
ElementId: TBD8
Status: Proposed
Reference: Section 3.4.1 of the IPFIX Protocol draft
3.9. Information Element Type Options Template
The Information Element Type Options Template attaches type
information to Information Elements used within Template Records, as
scoped to an Observation Domain within a Transport Session. This
provides a mechanism for representing an IPFIX Information Model
inline within an IPFIX Message stream. Data Records described by
this template are referred to as Information Element type records.
In deployments in which interoperability across vendor
implementations of IPFIX is important, an Exporting Process exporting
data using Templates containing enterprise-specific Information
Elements SHOULD export an Information Element type record for each
enterprise-specific Information Element it exports. Collecting
Processes MAY use these type records to improve handling of unknown
enterprise-specific Information Elements. Exporting Processes using
enterprise-specific Information Elements to implement proprietary
features MAY omit type records for those Information Elements.
Information Element type records MUST be handled by Collecting
Processes as scoped to the Transport Session in which they are sent;
this facility is not intended to provide a method for the permanent
definition of Information Elements.
Similarly, for security reasons, type information for a given
Information Element MUST NOT be re-defined by Information Element
type records. Once an Information Element type record has been
Boschi, et al. Expires February 25, 2008 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft IPFIX Type Information August 2007
exported for a given Information Element within a given Transport
Session, all subsequent type records for that Information Element
MUST be identical. If conflicting semantic or type information is
received in multiple semantics records by a Collecting Process, the
Collecting Process MUST reset the Transport Session.
The template SHOULD contain the following Information Elements as
defined in the PSAMP Information Model [I-D.ietf-psamp-info] and in
this document, above:
+-------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| IE | Description |
+-------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| informationElementID | The Information Element |
| | identifier of the Information |
| | Element within the specified |
| | Template this record describes. |
| | This Information Element MUST be |
| | defined as a Scope Field. See |
| | the PSAMP Information Model |
| | [I-D.ietf-psamp-info] for a |
| | definition of this field. |
| privateEnterpriseNumber | The Private Enterprise number of |
| | the Information Element within |
| | the specified Template this |
| | record describes. This |
| | Information Element MUST be |
| | defined as a Scope Field. |
| informationElementDataType | The storage type of the specified |
| | Information Element. |
| informationElementSemantics | The semantic type of the |
| | specified Information Element. |
| informationElementUnits | The units of the specified |
| | Information Element. This |
| | element MAY be omitted if the |
| | Information Element is a unitless |
| | quantity, or a not a quantity or |
| | counter. |
| informationElementRangeBegin | The low end of the range of |
| | acceptable values for the |
| | specified Information Element. |
| | This element MAY be omitted if |
| | the Information Element's |
| | acceptable range is defined by |
| | its data type. |
Boschi, et al. Expires February 25, 2008 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft IPFIX Type Information August 2007
| informationElementRangeEnd | The high end of the range of |
| | acceptable values for the |
| | specified Information Element. |
| | This element MAY be omitted if |
| | the Information Element's |
| | acceptable range is defined by |
| | its data type. |
| informationElementName | The name of the specified |
| | Information Element. |
| informationElementDescription | A human readable description of |
| | the specified Information |
| | Element. This element MAY be |
| | omitted in the interest of export |
| | efficiency. |

4. Security Considerations
The same security considerations as for the IPFIX Protocol
[I-D.ietf-ipfix-protocol] apply.
5. IANA Considerations
This document specifies the creation of several new IPFIX Information
Elements in the IPFIX Information Element registry located at
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipfix, as defined in section 3 above.
IANA has assigned the following Information Element numbers for their
respective Information Elements as specified below:
o Information Element Number TBD1 for the informationElementDataType
Information Element
o Information Element Number TBD2 for the
informationElementDescription Information Element
o Information Element Number TBD3 for the informationElementName
Information Element
o Information Element Number TBD4 for the
informationElementRangeBegin Information Element
o Information Element Number TBD5 for the informationElementRangeEnd
Information Element
o Information Element Number TBD6 for the
informationElementSemantics Information Element
Boschi, et al. Expires February 25, 2008 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft IPFIX Type Information August 2007
o Information Element Number TBD7 for the informationElementUnits
Information Element
o Information Element Number TBD8 for the privateEnterpriseNumber
Information Element
o [NOTE for IANA: The text TBD1, TBD2, TBD3, TBD4, TBD5, TBD6, TBD7,
and TBD8 should be replaced with the respective assigned
Information Element numbers where they appear in this document.]
IANA has created an Information Element Data Type subregistry for the
values defined for the informationElementSemantics Information
Element. Entries may be added to this subregistry subject to Expert
Review [RFC2434].
[NOTE for IANA: Please create a new Information Element Data Type
subregistry as specified in the paragraph above, with initial values
taken from section 3.1 of this document.]
IANA has created an Information Element Semantics subregistry for the
values defined for the informationElementSemantics Information
Element. Entries may be added to this subregistry subject to Expert
Review [RFC2434].
[NOTE for IANA: Please create a new Information Element Semantics
subregistry as specified in the paragraph above, with initial values
taken from section 3.6 of this document.]
IANA has created an Information Element Units subregistry for the
values defined for the informationElementUnits Information Element.
Entries may be added to this subregistry on a First Come First Served
[RFC2434] basis.
[NOTE for IANA: Please create a new Information Element Units
subregistry as specified in the paragraph above, with initial values
taken from section 3.7 of this document.]

Appendix A. Examples
The following example illustrates how the type information extension
mechanism defined in this document may be used to describe the
semantics of enterprise-specific Information Elements. The
Information Elements used in this example are as follows:
o initialTCPFlags, CERT (PEN 6871) private IE 14, 1 octet, the TCP
flags on the first TCP packet in the flow.
o unionTCPFlags, CERT (PEN 6871) private IE 15, 1 octet, the union
of the TCP flags on all packets after the first TCP packet in the
flow.

Figure 1: Template with Enterprise-Specific IEs
However, a Collecting Process receiving Data Sets described by this
Template can only treat the enterprise-specific Information Elements
as opaque octets; specifically, there is no hint to the collector
that they contain flag information. To use the type information
extension mechanism to address this problem, the Exporting Process
would first export the Information Element Type Options Template
described in section 3.9 above:
