      <t>This document introduces new IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX)
      Information Elements (IEs) to identify a set of information related to Segment Routing over IPv6
      (SRv6) related information such as data contained in a Segment Routing
      Header (SRH), the SRv6 control plane, and the SRv6 endpoint Endpoint behavior
      that traffic is being forwarded with.</t>

        <t>IANA has created a new subregistry called

        (Section 4.5 of <xref target="RFC8126"/>).</t>
        (<xref target="RFC8126" sectionFormat="of" section="4.5"/>).</t>
        <t>The designated experts for this registry should be familiar with
        SRH. The guidelines that are being followed by the designated experts
        for the IPFIX "IPFIX Information Elements" registry should be followed for this subregistry. In
        particular, criteria that should be applied by the designated experts
        include determining whether the proposed registration duplicates
        existing entries and whether the registration description is clear and
        fits the purpose of this registry. Within the review period, the
        designated experts will either approve or deny the registration
        request, communicating this decision to IANA. Denials should include
        an explanation and, if applicable, suggestions as to how to make the
        request successful.</t>
        <t>Initial values in the registry are defined in Table 2.</t>

        <t>The zero or more 128-bit IPv6 addresses in the SRH [RFC8754] <xref
        target="RFC8754" format="default"/> can be exported in two different
        ways, with two different IPFIX IEs:</t>

          <li>srhSegmentIPv6BasicList</li>
          <li>srhSegmentIPv6ListSection</li>
        </ul>
        <t>The srhSegmentIPv6BasicList encodes the SRv6 Segment List with a
        basicList, specified in the IPFIX Structured Data <xref
        target="RFC6313"/>.
        target="RFC6313" format="default"/>.
        This encoding offers the is an advantage to the for data collection that since the different IPv6
        addresses are already structured as a list, without the need of
        post-processing. However, this method requires some extra processing
        on the exporter, exporter to realize the
        BasicList basicList data mapping.</t>
        <t>The srhSegmentIPv6ListSection, on the other hand, encodes the list
        of IPv6 addresses as an octetArray. This doesn't impose any data flow
        manipulation on the exporter, facilitating the immediate export.
        However, the data collection MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> be able to decode the
        IPv6 addresses according to the SR specifications. Compared to the
        srhSegmentIPv6BasicList, the srhSegmentIPv6ListSection flow records
        length is slightly reduced.</t>
        <t>It is not expected that an exporter would support both
        srhSegmentIPv6BasicList and srhSegmentIPv6ListSection at the same
        time.</t>

      <t>This appendix represents three different encodings for the newly
      introduced IEs, for the example values in Table 3. <xref target="table3"/>. The
      three different encodings use the following IEs, respectively:
      srhSegmentIPv6BasicList, srhSegmentIPv6ListSection, and
      srhIPv6Section.</t>

          <t>In this example, the Template ID is 258, which will be used in
          the Data Record. The field length for srhIPv6Section in the Template
          Record is 0xFFFF, which means that the length of this IE is
          variable: its actual length is encoded in the Data Set. Note that,
          with an actual length inferior to 255 in the Data Record example,
          the length field is encoded in 8 bits (Section 7 of <xref
          target="RFC7011"/>).</t> (<xref target="RFC7011"
