such consensus has not been tested.  but many of the iesg are
aware and helped focus the ipfix charter knowing psamp was on
the horizon.

whether and when it becomes a wg depends on how much work
happens on this mailing list.

i have talked with other ops and research friends, and both
communities seem to want it.  the ops folk are not so flow-
oriented, but can't get stats off a multi-OC192 box.  and the
researchers at the darpa pi meeting earlier this week sure
seemed to want any rigorous sampling we could give them.  a
coupla vendors are also talking, which is key.
