Status of this Memo A Framework for Packet Selection and Reporting

A wide range of traffic engineering and troubleshooting tasks rely on timely and detailed traffic measurements that can be consistently interpreted. This document describes a framework for packet sampling that is (a) general enough to serve as the basis for a wide range of operational tasks, and (b) needs only a small set of packet selectors that facilitate ubiquitous deployment in router interfaces or dedicated measurement devices, even at very high speeds. The framework also covers reporting and exporting functions used by the sampling host, and configuration of the sampling PSAMP functions.
