Hi Sujay: Sorry it's taken me a while to get back onto IPFIX things. I see that Juergen sent you an email on 21 April, suggesting that you simply request IANA to add some new IE definitions to their IPFIX IE Registry. Reading your draft now, I agree with Juergen. The draft simply says "we need a new information element to say whether or not the counter fields in the Reliability Statistics and Exporting Process Statistics Option Templates are valid, or not." It doesn't seem to me that you need more than the new IE, your 'reliabilityReasonCode.' However, I'd like to see some discussion of that on the IPFIX list. For example, does the name tell us what it actually means? Would 'reliabilityCountersValid' be any better? Can it be implemented effectively? Do others agree that it would be useful? Concerning the draft itself, I have a few editorial comments: - MAYBE isn't an RFC 2119, that should be in lower case - IE 239 is already allocated, the next free number is 277 I'm copying this to the list to see what others think of this.
