libfixbuf Description

libfixbuf aims to be a compliant implementation of the IPFIX Protocol. libfixbuf aims to be a compliant implementation of the IPFIX Protocol, as defined in the "Specification of the IPFIX Protocol for the Export of IP Flow Information" (draft-ietf-ipfix-protocol, current revision -24, presently in the IETF RFC Editor queue). The library supports the information model defined in "Information Model for IP Flow Information Export" (draft-ietf-ipfix-info, current revision -15, presently in the IETF RFC Editor Queue), extended as proposed by "Bidirectional Flow Expolibfixbuf supports UDP, TCP, SCTP, and TLS over TCP as transport protocols. Support for DTLS over UDP and DTLS over SCTP is forthcoming. It also supports operation as an IPFIX File Writer or IPFIX File Reader as defined in "An IPFIX-Based File Format" (draft-trammell-ipfix-file, current revision-04).libfixbuf's public API is defined in public.h; see the documentation of that file for general documentation on getting started with libfixbuf, as well as detailed documentation on the public API calls and data types.libfixbuf API documentation is available in doc/html.Buildinglibfixbuf uses a reasonably standard autotools-based build system. The customary build procedure (./configure && make && make install) should work in most environments. libfixbuf requires glib-2.0 version 2.6.4 or later. If built against version 2.10 or later, it will automatically use the glib slab allocator for increased memory allocation performance. glib is available on most modern Linux distributions and BSD ports collections, or in source form from http://www.gtk.org.libfixbuf automatically uses the getaddrinfo(3) facility and the accompanying dual IPv4/IPv6 stack support if present. getaddrinfo(3)must be present to export or collect flows over IPv6.libfixbuf does not build with SCTP support by default. The --with-sctp option must be given to the libfixbuf ./configure script to include SCTP support. Also note that SCTP requires kernel support, and applications built against libfixbuf with libsctp may fail at runtime if that kernel support is not present. libfixbuf does not build with TLS support by default. The --with-ssl option must be given to the libfixbuf ./configure script to include TLS support.
