Technical Summary

   RFC 7125 revised the tcpControlBits IP Flow Information Export
   (IPFIX) Information Element that was originally defined in RFC 5102
   to reflect changes to the TCP header control bits since RFC 793.
   However, that update is still problematic for interoperability
   because some flag values have subsequently been deprecated.

   This document removes stale information from the IPFIX registry and
   avoids future conflicts with the authoritative TCP Header Flags
   registry.

   This document obsoletes RFC 7125.

Working Group Summary
  
   There was one point of controversy, but that has been resolved.
   Otherwise, there is nothing else worth noting.

Document Quality

   This work represents a cleanup of the tcpControlBits as it relates to IPFIX so
   that operators can interpret flow data more accurately.  Implementations
   insofar as TCP and IPFIX have existed for a long time.  Implementations for this
   update are very likely.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Joe Clarke.
   The Responsible Area Director is Robert Wilton.
