Dear all,
From the meeting minutes in Vancouver:
Open Issue #7: Metering Process ID in Association ID
This concerns the IPFIX processes in the associations ID (section 7.1 and 7.2
of psamp-tech). The proposal is to remove "metering process ID" to avoid
confusion, as no one could think of a possible scenario.
Tanja: It was introduced to support multiple IPFIX proecesses sharing a
selector. But since no example was found swo far where this is demanded
and since it it can be done (but less efficient) without the associations
by having 2 selectors, it is OK to drop it.
Discussion to be concluded on the mailing list.
I have remove the following sentence from the section 7.2 of [PSAMP-PROTO]:
Optionally, the IPFIX processes to which the
packets MAY be
added to the Associations ID. Example of IPFIX processes are IPFIX
Metering
Process ID and IPFIX Exporting Process ID.
To be consistent, [PSAMP-TECH] must also remove the notion of optional IPFIX processes from the association.
Regards, Benoit.
