Abstract :
This article gives an overview of applications requiring detailed flow-based traffic measurements within IP routers or probes. From the applications, requirements for these measurements are derived and compared to the capabilities of existing technologies. Finally, current activities at the IETF on standardizing the export of flow information out of routers to data collectors are summarized
