IPv6 security inspection

Joshy

Do we support inspection of IPv4 inside IPv6 to ensure that IPv4 attacks are not getting encapsulated into IPv6 packets ?

Hello @Joshy ,

Here are a list of supported features for IPv6.

Since most of the security services are available for IPv6 as well, I think it should be able to perform the security scans and identify such attacks.

Thanks!

Thanks @shiprasahu93, I did see that. However there was no specification if we were able to inspect an ip attack encapsulated in ipv6.

Much appreciated !

Hello @Joshy,

I just got confirmation on this. We will be able to protect against attacks even over IPv6 channels.

Thanks!
