Re: [IPFIX] SIP/RTP extensions to IPFIX: SIPFIX

["Saverio Niccolini" <[e-mail]>]

Dear Kobayashi-san,

thanks for the support. Today we will present the draft in the
IPFIX session, where we present our motivation of the work.

Indeed, we started from VoIP/SIP monitoring but indeed is also
for other applications, just needs to be extended a bit.

And yes, the idea is to support a wide range of monitoring
and operations applications, that is why we came to IPFIX and 
did not go to RAI area.

You can see a preview of the slides here:
http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/75/slides/ipfix-2.pdf

We can call how you like, SIPFIX was just a cool name to start with :-)

Today, Thomas will present our draft where we also analyzed
differences with respect to SIP-CLF, I am not sure if this group
followed that discussion as well, but there are similarities that
needs to be discussed even if the application use case is totally
different.

Cheers,
Saverio
