Has anyone had any experience creating a custom feed based around IPv6 addresses?
Specifically, I want to do something very similar to what is in the examples that show how to create department listings using IP ranges, I just want to set up a similar feed using our IPv6 ranges. A couple of the methods that I have used have failed, and I am not sure if it is in how I am structuring the XML file, or if it is a format issue in the CSV file in how I am listing the IPv6 ranges.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Is it possible to create meta on ALL ipv6dept in the above example? The above example produces .src and .dst meta but I just want to see ipv6dept meta for any sessions that have a source or destination in my CSV. Does that make sense?
I have created a new Key and want to see meta generated along the lines:
ip6dept
Dept1 (#sessions), Dept2 (#sessions),
and on the Brokers and Concentrators update the index-XXX.xml to include:
<key description="IPv6 Department" name="ipv6dept" format="Text" level="IndexValues" />
Also, is there a document somewhere that details all the options for the LanguageKeys? There is not much detail in the NWAdministrator guide on this topic.

Just remove the dstname and srcname attributes from the language key.
The feed documentation is great compared to Lua parsers. There are a couple of restriction though that are undocumented. One thing that cost me a couple of hours: Never have overlapping IP ranges in one feed. They are very common in practice, but not supported by Netwitness.

Not that anyone else is still trying to do this, but I just wanted to post a follow up. This is actually still not working. If I use the above and specify individual IPv6 addresses, it will show up in my feed. But increasing the low,high to any kind of range (even just 2 or 3 addresses) breaks it.
Working with support, but at this point I don't have any warm fuzzies that what I am trying to do is possible.

I can confirm that the feed does not work for ranges. I would be very much interested in the response of the support team.

I just received the following response from support:
I learned from Dev currently range lookups are only supported with IPV4. Support for IPV6 is being added to IP Feeds in version 10.2 which is due out in a few weeks.
