IPv6 addresses support in generated netflows #9

Are IPv6 addresses supported in generated netflow?

ornlu-is commented 1 year ago

NetFlow v5 does not support IPv6 addresses, since the "source address" and "destination address" fields of a NetFlow v5 record are only 4 bytes long (and you'd require 16 bytes to represent an IPv6 address).
