Note to RFC Editor
 
RFC Editor, please make the following changes:

1. In Section 2.1

OLD:

    In order to realize usage-based accounting with IPFIX the flow 
    definition has to be chosen in accordance to the accounting 
    purpose.  

NEW: 

    In order to realize usage-based accounting with IPFIX the flow 
    definition has to be chosen in accordance to the accounting 
    purpose, such as trend analysis, capacity planning, auditing, or
    billing and cost allocation where some loss of data can be tolerated
   (see section 4.2).

2. In Section 2.1.1

OLD: 

    Let's suppose someone has a Service Level Agreement (SLA) in a 
    DiffServ network requiring accounting based on traffic volume. 

NEW: 

    Let's suppose someone needs to monitor the individual flows in a   
    DiffServ network in order to compare traffic amount trend with the
    terms outlined in a Service Level Agreement (SLA).
