IPv6 traffic metering

[Nuno Garcia]

Hi all:
you can try Ethereal.
It's a GNU licence, it supports a huge number of protocols, it installs in a number of platforms, and its been working fine for us (we've been using it for some time now).
 
Check www.ethereal.com

	There are some alternatives to netflow which supports IPv6 (Netflow v9).
	You can try:
	flowd and softflowd - see port net-mgmt/flowd and net-mgmt/softflowd
	or
	you can try
	pmacct and pmacct-fe - see port net-mgmt/pmacct
