The RTFM Traffic Measurement Architecture provides a general framework for describing and measuring network traffic flows. Flows are defined in terms of their Address Attribute values and measured by a 'Traffic Meter'. This document discusses RTFM flows and the attributes which they can have, so as to provide a logical framework for extending the architecture by adding new attributes.
Extensions described include Address Attributes such as DSCodePoint, SourceASN and DestASN, and Group Attributes such as short-term bit rates and turnaround times. Quality of Service parameters for Integrated Services are also discussed.
