Description

@GoogleCodeExporter
Are there any plans to support Internet Protocol Flow Information Export 
(IPFIX) ?  I'm hoping for IPv6 capabilities, so I don't have to find something 
different to use on my collectors.  Thanks.

    VMware 5 generates IPFIX and calls it "Netflow".  Handling these is possible 
    with a translator from nfdump something like this -- ./bin/nfcapd -t 300 -z -D 
    -p 2055 -l ipfixdatadir -x './bin/nfreplay -r %d/%f -p 8818'

    IPFIX pretty much = NetFlow v10. But flow-tools doesn't handle anything
    after v8.
    
    The problem is that v9 & 10 are templated protocols, and v1-8 are fixed.
    This makes parsing v9 and 10 very different, more complex, and stateful. I
    don't think the flow-tools code can take these changes easily, and a lot of
    the CLI options would need to be tweaked as well.
