<key>Allow IPv6</key>
<dict>
<key>description</key>
<string>IPNetSentryX only examines IPv4 traffic at this time. This setting allows you to enable IPv6 pass through if desired. The vast majority of the Internet still uses Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). A next generation of Internet Protocols was developed during the 1990s but has not been widely adopted since other more economic solutions were found to deal with the most pressing problems at the time. IPv6 is supported in Mac OS X to allow gradual migration and experimental use, but the urgency to adopt it has largely dissipated.</string>

<key>Connection Logging</key>
<dict>
<key>description</key>
<string>Connection Logging allows you to keep a record of each connection or data flow established between a local and remote network endpoint (IP address and protocol port) and the amount of traffic sent between them. The connection log may be used as an audit trail to verify whether a specific network access has occurred, but more interestingly, by analyzing the connection log we can answer questions like what are the top 25 remote sites, network services, or protocols used as a percentage of total bandwidth. Connection logging can provide a higher level view of network usage patterns.</string>

<key>Source Aware Routing</key>
<dict>
<key>description</key>
<string>Mac OS X provides multi-link multi-homing which means your computer can be attached to more than one network at a time. Suppose you want to use both a cable modem and DSL connection for redundancy. You can install a PCI Ethernet card to give your machine another Ethernet interface and attach this to your other Ethernet connection, but when you designate one of your interfaces as first in the network preferences panel, Mac OS X creates a "Default Route" using the router addres for that interface. Any traffic that doesn't come from a host directly attached to one of your Ethernets will use this default route instead of being sent back through the DSL or cable modem it arrived from. IPNetRouterX uses "Source Aware Routing" to get around this limitation. Internally IPNetRouterX maintains a connection table that tracks each data flow based on its network endpoints (IP address and port at both ends of the connection). When it sees an outbound packet that is part of a data flow that arrived from another interface, it will redirect the packet to use that interface instead.</string>
