We classified them in two broad categories: (i) aggregate information that need to be collected at coarse time-scales and reported on a regular basis (e.g. SNMP, flows, routing tables) ; (ii) packet-level traces to analyze and understand a specific phenomenon. There are a number of implementation challenges in order to capture, process, summarize and export data at the required level of granularity at the time that it is needed. Some of these problems are being addressed in different IETF working groups whereas some others have not been. The goal of this BOF is to discuss whether a new working group is needed to undertake the following activities: (i) define a framework for monitoring needed to support day-to-day operations in IP networks, (ii) identify existing and on-going efforts in the IETF on various aspects of the framework and ensure that this work guarantees inter-operability among ISPs, and (iii) provide clear guidelines to equipment vendors on what infrastructure is needed to support monitoring in ISP networks. A charter for the new working group could address (but not be limited to) the following aspects: . provide BCP documents on how to instrument monitoring systems in large-scale provider networks. . describe known-to-work implementations and identify open issues. . specify components of an operational monitoring infrastructure in particular regarding aspects not addressed in other IETF WGs (e.g., storage, aging and analysis of collected data, control plane functionality). . specify ways for ISPs to share monitoring data. . make recommendations to other working groups standardizing different elements of monitoring, e.g., IPPM, IPFIX and PSAMP, INCH, IDWG, etc., READING LIST . draft-bhattacharyya-monitoring-deployment-00.txt . draft-bhattacharyya-monitoring-sprint-01.txt . draft-ietf-ipfix-reqs-10.txt . draft-ietf-psamp-framework-03.txt . draft-ietf-idwg-requirements-10.txt . draft-ietf-inch-iodef-01.txt .
