Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for use of dynamic templates with a network traffic flow information protocol, such as, for example, an Internet Protocol Flow Information Export (IPFIX) protocol. An exporter, that operates an exporting process, generates a capability message that indicates the network traffic flow fields that can be implemented and exported from the exporter (e.g., in an IPFIX data format), and communicates the capability message to a collector that operates a collecting process. The collector examines the network traffic flow fields identified by the capability message, and generates a dynamic template request message indicating (in the manner of a virtual template) a combination of fields for which network traffic flow information is to be provided. The exporter thereafter communicates, to the collector, data messages comprising the network traffic flow fields as indicated by the dynamic template.
