IP net management could get easier
IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX), expected to be in final draft by early next year, defines a method for routers and switches to export traffic-flow data to management systems. If adopted, the export standard would be included in network gear from Cisco, Nortel, Riverstone Networks and others. IPFIX-compliant management products then would be able to collect and analyze the traffic-flow data and correlate it with other network and application performance metrics in a management console.
