Hi, I have reposted this document.
It was first considered by opsawg back in 2014!

There was a lack of people time to bring this forward at the time.
At this point, this fits into my dayjo$.
There has been significant advanced in github, which you can see in the
-00/-01 diff.

Some links to previous conversation:

  https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/opsawg/yNOPXGto0kvgjmRc1HMX1JuVTWs/
  https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/90/slides/slides-90-opsawg-7.pdf
  https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/90/minutes/minutes-90-opsawg
  (We don't seem to have video recordings on youtube for IETFs before 93.
  I remember that I had a conflict during the meeting itself)

I don't know if the WG needs another presentation in order to think more
about this.   We could certainly go AD sponsored or ISE.

I'm cc'ing pcap-ng-format@winpcap.org, which may cause some things get
moderated in each direction, sorry.

In addition, there is now a document:
  https://github.com/pcapng/pcapng/blob/master/draft-gharris-opsawg-pcap.xml

which documents the "pcap" format that we've used/maintained for 25 years.
I'm not sure if we have energy to submit to ISE as an Informational RFC.
