As of
software update 8.2
, equalizing is based on the total bandwidth across both sets of
addresses, and not a separate decision for IPv6 and IPv4. Based on feedback from our
customers, we are hearing that IPv6 traffic may now be a noticeable percentage (reported
at up to 10%) of the traffic traversing your link to the Internet.
We began this transition by providing you with a way to see how much IPv6 traffic is
passing through your network. We still offer an
IPv6 Active Connection Table
, so that
you can see the native IPv6 addresses as well.
To view all IPv6 active connections:
(
back
)
From the Management and Reporting Menu,
Click on ->
View Current Activity
->
[
View Active Connections
].
Under the Active IPv6 Connections window,
Click on ->
[
View Connections
]
. The report fields are defined in the
Fields of
the IPv6 Active Connections Reports
table below.
This Active Connections table shows all IPv6 traffic streams (IP pairs) currently active on
your network. You can get a sense of how much of your network traffic has converted over
to IPv6 by reviewing this report. In the example above, the Wavgs (4th column) are large
for Index 0 and Index 3. These connections would be considered network "hogs". Index 1
would be considered a hog as well, if Hog Minimum is set to the default of 12,000.
