<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-1" href="#section-1">1</a>. Introduction</span>
<a href="./rfc7012#section-4">Section 4 of [RFC7012]</a> defines the IPFIX Information Elements (IEs)
in the range of 1-127 to be compatible with the NetFlow version 9
fields, as specified in "Cisco Systems NetFlow Services Export
Version 9" [<a href="./rfc3954" title=""Cisco Systems NetFlow Services Export Version 9"">RFC3954</a>]. As [<a href="./rfc3954" title=""Cisco Systems NetFlow Services Export Version 9"">RFC3954</a>] was published in 2004, it does
not contain all NetFlow version 9 field types in the range of 1-127.
The question was asked whether IPFIX Devices should exclusively
report the IANA IPFIX IEs [<a href="#ref-IANA-IPFIX">IANA-IPFIX</a>]. In other words, when
upgrading from a NetFlow Metering Process to an IPFIX Metering
Process, should the IPFIX Devices stop reporting IEs specific to
NetFlow version 9 that were not registered in IANA [<a href="#ref-IANA-IPFIX">IANA-IPFIX</a>]?

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc7270">RFC 7270</a> Cisco Information Elements June 2014</span>
This document is intended to fill the gap in this IE range. It
describes some additional IPFIX Information Elements in the range of
1-127, which is the range compatible with field types used by NetFlow
version 9 in [<a href="./rfc3954" title=""Cisco Systems NetFlow Services Export Version 9"">RFC3954</a>], as specified in the IPFIX Information Model
[<a href="./rfc7012" title=""Information Model for IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX)"">RFC7012</a>]. With this, IPFIX implementations could export all the
Information Elements specified in IANA [<a href="#ref-IANA-IPFIX">IANA-IPFIX</a>], regardless of
the range.
This document follows the rules in "Guidelines for Authors and
Reviewers of IP Flow Export (IPFIX) Information Elements" [<a href="./rfc7013" title=""Guidelines for Authors and Reviewers of IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) Information Elements"">RFC7013</a>].
This document does not extend [<a href="./rfc3954" title=""Cisco Systems NetFlow Services Export Version 9"">RFC3954</a>]. The IPFIX Protocol
[<a href="./rfc7011" title=""Specification of the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) Protocol for the Exchange of Flow Information"">RFC7011</a>] has its own Information Model ([<a href="./rfc7012" title=""Information Model for IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX)"">RFC7012</a>] and IANA
[<a href="#ref-IANA-IPFIX">IANA-IPFIX</a>]), which is extensible upon application to IANA, subject
to expert review by IE-DOCTORS [<a href="./rfc7013" title=""Guidelines for Authors and Reviewers of IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) Information Elements"">RFC7013</a>]. This document extends the
IPFIX Information Model.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-2" href="#section-2">2</a>. Terminology</span>
IPFIX-specific terminology used in this document is defined in
<a href="./rfc7011#section-2">Section 2 of [RFC7011]</a>. As in [<a href="./rfc7011" title=""Specification of the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) Protocol for the Exchange of Flow Information"">RFC7011</a>], these IPFIX-specific terms
have the first letter of a word capitalized when used in this
document.
