Mike,
Adding IPv6 support is not a trivial process. Can you be a little more
specific?

Scott -
There is no performance hit on NFR, as IPv6 support is built into the sensor
engine.
Thanks.

What is the performance hit when turning on this feature within NFR and
ISS?

I'm a little surprised. I have only heard back from two vendors that
claim to do full IPv6: NFR & ISS. I doubt this is an accurate
representation, so I'll try one more time. Has anybody heard anything
about the other products out there?
thanks,
D

As per the below whitepaper, ISS is supporting IPv6 and corresponding
tunneling to IPv4 and vice versa, but I have seen no claims by other
verdors as well.

Besides that, I read an interesting slide on IPv6 Security in the
following link:

I will pipe up for NFR. Our Sentivist Smart sensors are natively
capable
of
"all of the above" at the sensor engine level. Tunneling, full
analysis,
everything. And we've been doing it for a couple of years now.
I cannot provide a list of vendors who do this, but I will say that I
was
told 7 months ago by an IPv6 expert that we were the only IPS vendor he
was
aware of who did it "properly". I don't know if that's actually/still
true,
so I'd be very interested in seeing who else chimes in on this thread.
Not surprisingly, we find this feature to be very popular in the U.S.
government and overseas, particularly in Asia. What we try to explain
to
the rest of the world is that even if they don't think they are running
IPv6, parts of their network may still be at risk of a tunneled IPv6
attack.

Hi list,
I've read that some IDS/IPS vendors can monitor IPv6, but not
completely. For example, they might be able to alert on the
presence of IPv6 traffic, but they can't actually do full analysis
because they can't parse the headers correctly. Especially for
things like IPv6 tunneled over IPv4, or IPv6 tunneled over IPv6, etc.
Does anybody have a list of which vendors support what, and to what
extent?
thanks,
D
