IPFIX (IP Flow Information Export) is a newer protocol than NetFlow, and is based on the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard known as IP Flow Information Export. IPFIX is geared more towards the collection, aggregation and export of IP flow information for network monitoring, traffic analysis and security purposes. It is an extension of NetFlow v9 and includes support for IPv6, as well as enhancements for scalability and extensibility.
NetFlow is an older protocol developed by Cisco for collecting and aggregating information about IP traffic flows. It is primarily used for network monitoring, traffic analysis and security purposes. NetFlow supports IPv4 only, and is not as extensible as IPFIX.
