libfixbuf

Libfixbuf is a C library that provides application developers with an easy-to-use implementation of the IPFIX Protocol for building IPFIX Collecting and Exporting Processes. One of the primary benefits of this library is that it supports the latest 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), which is extended as proposed by "Bidirectional Flow Export using IPFIX" (draft-ietf-ipfix-biflow, current revision -05, presently in the IETF RFC Editor Queue) to support information elements for representing biflows.

Furthermore, libfixbuf has support for TCP, UDP, SCTP, and TLS over TCP as transport protocols. Even though DTLS over UDP and DTLS over SCTP support is still forthcoming, this library offers excellent performance, security and reliability for building robust and scalable network applications.

In addition, Libfixbuf also provides support for 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). This functionality is essential for developers who need to store and analyze IPFIX data offline or process captured network traffic at a later time.

Overall, libfixbuf is an excellent software library that offers robust and scalable support for building IPFIX Collecting and Exporting Processes. It provides developers with extensive functionality and flexibility while maintaining high performance, security, and reliability.
