Having switched to the cli nfdump I now believe
that nfdump does not performan as one is used
when it comes to *heavy* IPv6 flows.

Particularly I try to look at top talkers of these files,
especially in the "inet6" domain:

Background:

we have "research scanners" in our university network
<off> something you really don't want ;-) </off>
My guess is that they started with IPv6 scanning today
but I would need an according output from the netflows
to be sure.

They stopped around 08:05 as one can guess from
the size of the flow data.

nfsen talks about 200 kflows/s but my guess is that they
overdrove pretty much everything of the infrastructure I have.

Have not seen this effect with IPv4 before at similar rates.

There will be some clear words with the "researchers" the next days ;-)

Anyway, facit: nfdump seems to be less effectice with IPv6 to me.

Any confirms?

Best regards, Jens

P.S. This is nothing that astonishes me as there are 128 bits to process
compared to the well known 32 bits.

P.P.S. So not a 2GB issue.
