Let me clarify: I have no solid evidence that they do not plan to support IPv6 for NTA. Their other products are IPv6-compatible, it's just that the Netflow module cannot parse IPv6 addresses in the PDUs. Why this is still the case in 2014, I am not sure. I can only assume that they do not plan on introducing this feature anytime soon, as they have historically been driven by their enterprise customers, which don't give a damn about IPv6, unfortunately. :-/
