Dear all,
Today the new nProbe v6 has been released. It includes several improvements
with respect to the previous version including:
• Full IPFIX support: PEN (Private Enterprise Numbers) and Variable
length encoding.
• Ability to natively dump flows in FastBit format that allows to
outperform relational and raw flow-based collectors.
• Ability to collect sFlow flows and turn them into flows (v5/v9/IPFIX).
• Collection of Cisco ASA flows and conversion in 'standard' flows.
• New nprobe architecture for better performance and exploitation of
multicore architectures.
• Support of tunneled (including GRE, PPP and GTP) traffic and ability
to export in flows inner/outer envelope/packet information.
• HTTP and MySQL protocol analysis: ability to generate logs of web and
mysql activities in addition to flow export.
• BGP Plugin for establishing a BGP session with a router and generate
flows with AS and AS path information.
nProbe is available in three versions:
• Standard version: nProbe™ (without plugins) source code.
You can compile this software on Unix, Linux, Solaris, OSX and Win32 (nProbe™
for Win32 is available in both binary and source format).
• Professional version: same as standard version with native PF_RING
support (i.e. full packet capture acceleration), Fastbit support and some
plugins (database, dump and layer-7 inspection plugin). This version is
available only for Linux.
• Professional version with plugins: same as standard version with
native PF_RING, Fastbit support and all plugins (including http and MySQL
plugin). This version is available only for both Unix and Win32.
As usual nProbe is released under GPLv2 and it is free of charge for
universities and researchers. Existing nProbe owners (who purchased previous
versions no more than a year ago) can download v6 free of charge from the URL
they have received when registered for the previous version.
More information can be found at the nProbe web page
