I work for IBM network capacity planning for Europe. I have been
looking at ntop and it does everything I am looking for but I have a
couple of questions.
1. Most of the traffic reports seem to be based on traffic volumes NOT
bandwidth utilisation. I am interested in bandwidth utilisation figures
for each 'flow' that ntop measures. Is this availble now or is it
possible in the future?
2. the flow-spec option: does this allow me to define the structure of
flow records that could be exported into a database?
e.g. IP address1
IP address2
port 1
port2
packet count
octets in
octets out
throughput in
throughput out
3. I am interested in the following report structure: The traffic
monitoring would take place on an IBM user site on the local LAN and the
report details the traffic between the site and all remote off-site
locations (dns names). With this report I can see the total throughput,
the total throughput broken down by application, the total throughput
between the site and every remote device, the throughput between the
site and remote device broken down by application. This is a very
powerful and useful report to have.
TOTALs LOCATIONS server1.uk.ibm.com
server2.de.ibm.com etc.......................
APPLICATIONS
ftp octets in
ftp octets out
ftp total octets
ftp throughput in
ftp throughput out
ftp total throughput
telnet octets in
telnet octets out
telnet total octets
telnet throughput in
telnet throughput out
telnet total throughput

other apps.....
If this kind of report cannot be generated by ntop, then it can be done
by exporting traffic flows into another database, that is why I am
interested in exporting the traffic flows as mentioned above.
