YAFReverseFlowTypeNetwork Flow Object Schema

These elements correspond to the reverse flow captured by in YAF record.


Fields

Field Name Type Description
Reverse_Octet_Total_Count0..1 IntegerObjectPropertyType

Number of octets in packets in reverse direction of flow. May be encoded in 4 octets using IPFIX reduced-length encoding.

Reverse_Packet_Total_Count0..1 IntegerObjectPropertyType

Number of packets in reverse direction of flow.

Reverse_Payload_Entropy0..1 IntegerObjectPropertyType

Shannon Entropy calculation of the reverse payload data. The calculation generates a real number value between 0.0 and 8.0. That number is then converted into an 8-bit integer value between 0 and 255. Roughly, numbers above 230 are generally compressed (or encrypted) and numbers centered around approximately 140 are English text. Lower numbers carry even less information content.

Reverse_Flow_Delta_Milliseconds0..1 IntegerObjectPropertyType

RTT of initial handshake.

TCP_Reverse_Flow0..1 YAFTCPFlowType

The associated elements relate to the reverse packets of the flow.

Reverse_Vlan_ID_MAC_Addr0..1 AddressObjectType

Reverse MAC address.

Reverse_Passive_OS_Fingerprinting0..1 PlatformSpecificationType

OS name and version of the reverse flow.

Reverse_First_Packet0..1 HexBinaryObjectPropertyType

First reverse packet IP payload.

Reverse_N_Bytes_Payload0..1 HexBinaryObjectPropertyType

Initial n bytes of reverse direction of flow payload.
