Purpose: For information

Body: The Broadband Forum is interested in utilizing the IPFIX protocol to support bulk data collection within its Access Node specifications. As part of these efforts, the Broadband Forum previously reviewed the current YANG data models available for IPFIX / Packet Sampling, specified in RFC 6728.

The Broadband Forum is aware of IETF draft-boydseda-ipfix-psamp-bulk-data-yang-model which defines a YANG model for packet sampling (PSAMP) and bulk data collection and export via IPFIX. This model conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in RFC 8342 and replaces the model defined in RFC 6728.

We would like to inform the IETF that the Broadband Forum intends to make normative reference to this document as an integral part of its specifications. To that end it would be advantageous for the document to be pursued as a Standards Track document.

Specifically, it is our intention to normatively reference this in future revisions of the following BBF technical specifications:
•	TR-301 – Architecture and Requirements for Fiber to the Distribution Point
•	TR-352 - Multi-wavelength PON Inter-Channel-Termination Protocol (ICTP) Specification
•	TR-413 - SDN Management and Control Interfaces for CloudCO Network Functions

As such there is a strong desire to see it progress through the IETF process to RFC.

Your consideration is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Lincoln Lavoie,
Broadband Forum Technical Committee Chair
