IPv6 Flow Options • Netflow v9 (aka cflow/jflow) • Sflow • IPFix
Common Netflow versions • Netflow v5 - Fixed record format, no support for IPv6 • Supported by Cisco, Juniper, Alcatel • Netflow v9 - Variable record format/template, supports IPv6 • Supported by Cisco and Juniper although Juniper doesn’t yet support IPv6 traffic reporting in cflowd v9
Cisco IPv6 Netflow v9 Configuration • General Configuration • ipv6 flow-export version 9 • Ipv6 flow-export destination <ip-address> <port-no> • Ipv6 flow-export template refresh-rate <rate-value> • Ipv6 flow-export template timeout <timeout-value>
Cisco IPv6 Netflow • Interface specific commands • Ipv6 flow ingress • Ipv6 flow egress
CLI Management Commands • Show ip cache flow • Clear ip flow stats
IPFix • IETF working group effort • Improves on Cisco’s Netflow v9 • See: http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog41/presentations/nanog41-ipfix.pdf
Sflow • Includes packet header information • Used by Extreme, Force10, Foundry
Things to Watch For • Simultaneous IPv6 and flow support • Impact of IPv6 flow on router or switch performance • Corner case behavior: • MPLS • Multicast • Dropped packets
