IPFIX mediation on the BNG

You can configure a BNG to act as an intermediary device between IPFIX exporters and collectors, while having the functions of both. The IPFIX mediator collects IPFIX records from downstream access network devices such as OLTs and smart ONTs. It processes these records and any local statistics and then relays the information to upstream collectors. From the reference point of the IPFIX collector, IPFIX mediation enables the router and its associated access network devices to appear as a single IPFIX export source and as a single point of management access for the BNG and the remote devices.
