Version 9; Version 10 - Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR OS Configuration Manual

When a flow is exported from the cache, the collected data is sent to an external collector which
maintains an accumulation of historical data flows that network operators can use to analyze traffic
patterns.
Data is exported in one of the following formats:
•
•
•
•
There are several different aggregate flow types including:
•
•
•
•
•
V8 is an aggregated export format. As individual flows are aged out of the raw flow cache, the data
is added to the aggregate flow cache for each configured aggregate type. Each of these aggregate
flows are also aged in a manner similar to the method the active flow cache entries are aged. When
an aggregate flow is aged out, it is sent to the external collector in the V8 record format.

Version 5 — Generates a fixed export record for each individual flow captured.
Version 8 — Aggregates multiple individual flows into a fixed aggregate record.
Version 9 — Generates a variable export record, depending on user configuration and
sampled traffic type (IPv4, IPv6, or MPLS), for each individual flow captured.
Version 10 (IPFIX) — Generates a variable export record, depending on user
configuration and sampled traffic type (IPv4, IPv6, or MPLS), for each individual flow
captured.
