Greetings,

Submitted for feedback, the following media type registration appears  
in draft-ietf-ipfix-file, currently in IESG processing.

Thanks,

Brian

    Type name:   application

    Subtype name:   ipfix

    Required parameters:   none

    Optional parameters:   none

    Encoding considerations:   IPFIX files are binary, and therefore  
must
       be encoded in non-binary contexts.

    Security considerations:   See the Security Considerations section
       (Section 12) of this document, and the Security Considerations
       section of [RFC5101].

    Interoperability considerations:   See the Detailed Specification
       section (Section 7) of this document.  The format is designed to
       be broadly interoperable, as any valid stream of IPFIX Messages
       over any transport specified in [RFC5101] MUST be recognizable as
       a valid IPFIX File.

    Published specification:   This document, especially Section 7, and
       [RFC5101].

    Applications that use this media type:   Various IPFIX
       implementations (see [RFC5153]) support the construction of IPFIX
       File Readers and Writers.

    Additional information:   none

    Magic number(s):   None, although the first two bytes of any IPFIX
       file are the first two bytes of a message header, the Version
       field, which as of [RFC5101] are always 10 in network byte order:
       0x00, 0x0A.

    File extension(s):  .ipfix

    Macintosh file type code(s):   none

    Intended usage:   LIMITED USE

    Restrictions on usage:   none

    Change controller:   Authors of this document, IETF IPFIX Working
       Group
