VPP IPFIX implementation
Introduction
Requirements
- IPv6 support
- IPFIX aggregation with timout =! 0 (current implementation)
- Multiple records per UDP packet
- Should support export over IPv6
- Be able to do local aggregation per any IPv6 fields or sub-field of IPv6 address (this is supported by IPFIX)
