A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

	Title		: An IPFIX-Based File Format
	Author(s)	: B. Trammell, et al.
	Filename	: draft-trammell-ipfix-file-01.txt
	Pages		: 11

This document describes a file format for the storage of flow data
   based upon the IPFIX message format.  It proposes a set of
   requirements for flat-file, binary flow data file formats, evaluates
   flow storage systems presently in use for their conformance to these
   requirements, then applies the IPFIX message format to these
   requirements to build a new file format.  This IPFIX file format is
   designed especially to be useful to the implementors of IPFIX
   Collecting Processes.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
