[nProbe] GeoIP ASNum and IPv6 Trafic

Hello,

I'm using nProbe to generate netFlow records from our dual internet
connexion. I use the GeoIP ASNum database to insert the AS numbers in the
flows. This works very well for all the NetFlow records for ipv4 trafic, but
the AS numbers are not added to the IPv6 flows.

I'm using nProbe version v.6.9.7 ($Revision: 2406 $)
The GeoIP files are correctly loaded at startup time
[util.c:293] GeoIP: loaded AS config file /usr/local/nprobe/GeoIPASNum.dat
[util.c:302] GeoIP: loaded AS IPv6 config file
/usr/local/nprobe/GeoIPASNumv6.dat

Any hints about this ?

Regards,
Olivier B.

GeoIP has many limitations with IPv6 as its database is very small. I think this is the source of your problem

Re: [nProbe] GeoIP ASNum and IPv6 Trafic [In reply to]

Hello,

I had a look to the CSV version of the latests GeoIPASNumv6 database and it
contains quite a lot of entries.

Moreover, I made a simple test using perl and Geo::IP and it successfully
lookup the AS for several IPv6 Addresses.

I didn't have a look to the nProbe code yet, but my config.h contains
#define HAVE_GEOIP_IPv6 1
The database is the latest available. The libgeoip version is 1.4.6 (could
update manually to 1.4.8, which is the latest available on maxmind.com).

But still, I think there's something wrong with the v6 lookup in nProbe.

Best regards,
Olivier B.

Hello,

After upgrading to the GeoIP CAPI version 1.4.8, the AS are correctly
inserted in the flow records.

Best regards,
Olivier B.
