Verifying IPv6 Connections
Nov 30, 2016
After enabling IPv6 acceleration on the appliance, the appliance starts accelerating traffic for the applications using IPv6
protocol. To make sure that the appliance is accelerating the IPv6 traffic, you can monitor such connections on the
appliance.
To monitor the IPv6 connections, navigate to the SD-WAN > Monitoring tab. The Connections page of the Monitoring
tab display IPv6 protocols traffic related statistics:
Connections: The Connections page lists details of all the connections established with the appliance. This page
consists of two tabs, Accelerated Connections and Unaccelerated Connections. The Accelerated Connections tab lists
all connections that the appliance is accelerating. You can identify IPv6 traffic in this tab by referring to the Initiator and
Responder column of each entry. If these columns contain hexadecimal IP address values, the entry represents an IPv6
connection, as shown in the following screen shot.
IPv6 connections that are not accelerated, are listed on the Unaccelerated Connections tab. If you want to accelerate
these connections, you might need to troubleshoot and fine tune the application parameters on the appliance. As on
the Accelerated Connections tab, you can identify the IPv6 connections on this tab by referring to the Initiator and
Responder columns of each entry.
Top Applications: The Top Applications page provides granularity in the time frame that you can use to graphically
represent the traffic throughput of various applications served by the SD-WAN appliance. By default, traffic throughput
is displayed by the last minute. However, you can change the time frame by selecting Last Minute, Last Hour, Last Day,
Last Week, or Last Month from the list available on the Title bar of the page. This page has three tabs, Top
Applications Graphs, Since Last Restart, and Active Applications (Since Last Restart). The Top Applications Graphs
tab contains the following statistics:
Total Application Link Throughput Percentage (Sent): This is a pie chart depicting the percentage of traffic that
the appliance has sent to each application. If the appliance has sent a significant percentage of traffic for an
application using IPv6 protocol, the application has its percentage of traffic depicted in this graph.
Total Application Link Throughput Percentage (Received): This is a pie chart depicting the percentage of traffic
that the appliance has received from each application. If the appliance has received a significant percentage of traffic
from an application using IPv6 protocol, the graph displays the percentage of traffic generated by the application.
Sent Rate: This is a stacked graph of series of data depicting the rate, in bits per second, at which the appliance has
sent traffic to each application. If the appliance has sent data to an application using IPv6 protocol, a series depicting
each application using IPv6 protocol is also plotted on this graph.
Received Rate: This is a stacked graph of series of data depicting the rate, in bits per second, at which the appliance
has received traffic from each application. If the appliance has received data from an application using IPv6 protocol,
a series depicting each application using IPv6 protocol is also plotted on this graph.
Top Applications table: This is a table of statistics for each application. The table lists all applications for which the
