Internet Protocol Flow Information Export (IPFIX) Mirroring Enhancement

This feature enhances the mirroring capabilities in ExtremeXOS by adding IPFIX flow traffic support, in addition to the previously supported port and VLAN traffic. With the ability to mirror IPFIX flow traffic, you can leverage the combined capabilities of Internet Protocol Flow Information Export (IPFIX) and Purview to provide additional information about flows. IPFIX can detect flows and collect flow statistics, but it cannot do deep packet payload inspections. Purview, however, can do deep packet inspection beyond Layer 4, if it is provided with a copy of the packet payload. This feature mirrors the first 15 packets of any IPFIX flow to a port where Purview is able to receive the packets for deep packet inspection.
