Internet Protocol flow information export is the general term for methods to collect and report flow (Internet Protocol) statistics.[1] In 2004, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) IPFIX project [2] analyzed methods,[3] both originally designed for the IETF, as well as proprietary flow export methods put into the public domain.

A protocol specification was approved in January 2008,[4] along with a range of supporting specifications. The greatest body of operational experience with this function came from Cisco's NetFlow, especially with Version 5, an ancestor of the Version 9 submitted to the IETF, and the applicability section of this article will discuss lessons learned both from standards, and from widely used proprietary methods.
