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)
