1. Introduction

 Section 4 of [RFC7012] defines the IPFIX Information Elements (IEs)
 in the range of 1-127 to be compatible with the NetFlow version 9
 fields, as specified in "Cisco Systems NetFlow Services Export
 Version 9" [RFC3954].  As [RFC3954] was published in 2004, it does
 not contain all NetFlow version 9 field types in the range of 1-127.
 The question was asked whether IPFIX Devices should exclusively
 report the IANA IPFIX IEs [IANA-IPFIX].  In other words, when
 upgrading from a NetFlow Metering Process to an IPFIX Metering
 Process, should the IPFIX Devices stop reporting IEs specific to
 NetFlow version 9 that were not registered in IANA [IANA-IPFIX]?

Yourtchenko, et al. Informational [Page 2] RFC 7270 Cisco Information Elements June 2014

 This document is intended to fill the gap in this IE range.  It
 describes some additional IPFIX Information Elements in the range of
 1-127, which is the range compatible with field types used by NetFlow
 version 9 in [RFC3954], as specified in the IPFIX Information Model
 [RFC7012].  With this, IPFIX implementations could export all the
 Information Elements specified in IANA [IANA-IPFIX], regardless of
 the range.
 This document follows the rules in "Guidelines for Authors and
 Reviewers of IP Flow Export (IPFIX) Information Elements" [RFC7013].
 This document does not extend [RFC3954].  The IPFIX Protocol
 [RFC7011] has its own Information Model ([RFC7012] and IANA
 [IANA-IPFIX]), which is extensible upon application to IANA, subject
 to expert review by IE-DOCTORS [RFC7013].  This document extends the
 IPFIX Information Model.

2. Terminology

 IPFIX-specific terminology used in this document is defined in
 Section 2 of [RFC7011].  As in [RFC7011], these IPFIX-specific terms
 have the first letter of a word capitalized when used in this
 document.

3. Information Elements Overview

 The following Information Elements are discussed in the sections
 below:
   +----+-----------------------+-----+---------------------------+
