An IPFIX-Based File Format
This document describes a file format for the storage of flow data based upon the IPFIX message format. It proposes a set of requirements for flat-file, binary flow data file formats, evaluates flow storage systems presently in use for their conformance to these requirements, then applies the IPFIX message format to these requirements to build a new file format. This IPFIX file format is designed especially to be useful to the implementors of IPFIX Collecting Processes.
