Hi all:
In work we are doing here, we have found rather compelling value, to put it mildly, in the scope and techniques which are covered in a draft which was submitted to the now-closed IPFIX working group, draft-aitken-ipfix-unobserved-fields. Its latest manifestation (as a -.03 rev) is to be found at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-aitken-ipfix-unobserved-fields/.
This was submitting when the wg was in its closing throes. HIstory from the list was unearthed by Paul Aitken indicating that the draft has value, but had not yet received sufficient list commentary to move forward, at the exact moment that wg closure was sought.
I have reached out to that original author and the wg chair, Benoit Claise, who is an active member of this area wg as well of course. Benoit recommended that in the current state of the IPFIX wg, that I approach this area wg with an interest in revival and refinement of this draft (which I am willing to particpate in), with an eye towards its eventual elevation to be a companion to the other Proposed Standard RFCs produced by the IPFIX WG.
It is in that spirit I submit this post, I hope my protocol of approach is in order. If there is another viable strategy for elevation of this draft than wg reactivation, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
