IPFIX

The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller uses the IPFIX suite of standards to export protocol message traffic and related data to the Oracle Communications Operations Monitor (OCOM) Mediation Engine.

  • RFC 5101, Specification of the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) Protocol for the Exchange of IP Traffic Flow Information
  • RFC 5102, Information Model for IP Flow Information Export
  • RFC 5470, Architecture for IP Flow Information Export
  • RFC 5655, Specification of the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) File Format
  • RFC 5815, Definitions of Managed Objects for IP Flow Information Export

The IPFIX standards describe the use of templates to format the export of specific types of protocol traffic. The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller and the OCOM Mediation Engine share ten (10) pre-defined templates that facilitate protocol message exchange, and subsequent processing and analysis by the OCOM Engine.

The pre-defined templates are:

  • incoming SIP/DNS over UDP
  • incoming SIP over TCP
  • incoming SIP over SCTP
  • incoming DNS over UDP (entire IP and UDP header not included)
  • outgoing SIP/DNS over UDP
  • outgoing SIP over TCP
  • outgoing SIP over SCTP
  • outgoing DNS over UDP (entire IP and UDP header not included)
  • media qos and flow record
  • IPFIX handshake (used for connection establishment)
