[Ntop] I am having a problem, ntop doesn't detect P2P traffic. could you advice me what to do ?
Dear Sir, I am having a problem with ntop and I hope that you could tell me the reason for it. I work in a major ISP in Egypt and I was interested in discovering the amount of bandwidth consumed by P2P application in the internet traffic of the users in my network using ntop. I am deploying the windows version of ntop (ntop-3.1-demo) on a Dell machine, as a sample I configured port mirroring on an interface on a juniper router that carries the Internet traffic of some of my customers. I used port mirroring on the interface of the juniper M5 router to mirror the internet traffic of the customers and send it to the server that hosts the ntop application. The problem is that the ntop has indicated that almost 80 % of the traffic was http traffic and almost no P2P traffic that belongs to any application was detected. Theses results were very strange as I did that test at the very early morning where most of the customers are asleep so I expected to see most of the traffic as a P2P download sessions. So I have 2 possibilities, either my idea about the traffic types on my network was greatly mistaken (in this case our network will be the first network in the world that has no problems with the P2P trafficJ), or that something went wrong that prevented the ntop application from identifying the traffic of the P2P applications like kazaa and bit torrentetc. I hope that you can provide me with an advice about the reason why didnt the ntop detect the P2P traffic, and if I can do something about that or not.

What about the unix or linux versions, do you have an idea if the unix and linux sources available to download from the ntop site are full versions or just demos as well?
