IPv6 NetStream aggregation data export
IPv6 NetStream aggregation merges the flow statistics according to the aggregation criteria of an
aggregation mode, and sends the summarized data to the NetStream server. This process is the IPv6
NetStream aggregation data export, which decreases the bandwidth usage compared to traditional data
export.
Table 7 lists the aggr
egation modes supported on the HP 5800.

IPv6 NetStream export format
IPv6 NetStream exports data in UDP datagrams in version 9 format.
Version 9 format's template-based feature provides support of different statistics information.
IPv6 NetStream configuration task list
Before you configure IPv6 NetStream, determine the following proper configurations as needed.
• Make sure on which device you want to enable IPv6 NetStream.
• Configure the timer for NetStream flow aging.
• To reduce the bandwidth consumption used by IPv6 NetStream data export, configure IPv6
NetStream aggregation.
