| Description | This paper deals with tunneled IPv6 traffic monitoring and describing IPv6 transition issues. The contribution is a possibility of monitoring what is inside IPv6 tunnels. This gives network administrators a way to detect security threats which would be otherwise considered as harmless IPv4 traffic. This approach is also suitable for long term network monitoring. This is achieved by the usage of IPFIX (IP Flow Information Export) as the information carrying format. The proposed approach also allows to monitor traffic on 10 Gb/s links because it supports hardware-accelerated packet distribution to multiple processors. |
