Realtime Traffic Flow Measurement (rtfm) ---------------------------------------- Charter Current status: active working group Chair(s): Nevil Brownlee Barry Greene Sig Handelman Operational Requirements Area Director(s): Scott Bradner Michael O'Dell Area Advisor Mike O'Dell Mailing lists: General Discussion:rtfm@auckland.ac.nz To Subscribe: majordomo@auckland.ac.nz In Body: subscribe rtfm your-email-address Archive: ftp://ftp.auckland.ac.nz/pub/rtfm/archive Description of Working Group: This working group has three main objectives: o Review existing work in traffic flow measurement, including that of the RMON and Internet Accounting working groups and published work from independent researchers. o Produce an improved Traffic Flow Model considering at least the following: - efficient hardware implementation - effect of IPv6 on traffic measurement - extension of the accounting model to widen the range of measurable quantities - simpler ways to specify flows of interest - maintain existing focus on data reduction capabilities o Develop the Flow Meter MIB as a 'standards track' document with the IETF. Goals and Milestones: Feb 96 Submit set of revised Internet-Drafts and of RFC1272 to the IESG for considertation as Experimental Protocols. Mar 96 Produce outline for "New Traffic Flow Model" document Jul 96 Submit "New Traffic Flow Model" document as an Internet-Draft, and begin working on an implementation document. Jul 96 Submit Internet-Draft on Flow Meter MIB. Nov 96 Submit "New Traffic Flow Model" to the IESG to be considered for publication as an RFC. Nov 96 Submit Implementation document as an Internet-Draft. Mar 97 Submit Implementation Internet-Draft to the IESG to be considered for publication as an RFC.
