I was thinking of building IPv6 support in my YAPS program. Look at
http://sf.net/projects/yaps-pcap/

and let me (and the list) know if this interrests you. We (AS12859)
are using YAPS to account for approximately 400 Mbps of IPv4 traffic
on a P4 with commodity hardware.

They key to IPv6 implementation is a decent hash function for Ipv6
addresses. If anybody has some knowledge or data on this, let me know.
Otherwise I have something statistical I think may work fine ..

It should take me less than 5 working days of coding to implement IPv6
in this program.
