Mike,
you can see a preview of the future box (this is a pre-release box) here: http://luca.ntop.org/nBox3/screenshots/


1. The box has 3 x 10/100 Mbit interfaces or 2x10/100 + 1GE
2. a x86-like (Via C3) with > 1'000 Bogomips (~mid-range Pentium3)
3. fanless, based on a compact flash (boot in ~13 sec). Ram+flash are user expandable
4. it does include ntop, 2xnProbe and firewalling capabilities
5. it can work in pass-through mode (eth0 is used for accessing the box/emitting flows, eth1/eth2 can be put in bridge mode or used to monitor two different network trunks)
6. we plan to introduce it by the end of this month at a price similar to the old nBox


Anyone who wants to test-drive it or know more about it please drop me a mail.

Cheers, Luca

Hi all,

I would like to receive your suggestion or comments on the following
scenario.

I'm considering setting some hardware boxes in different location to
monitor traffics usage.

Since these boxes are located in remote sites, to preserve bandwidth, I
think that multiple nTop installation would be the best choice instead of a
distributed nProbe (or nBox) solution.

I'm searching cheap hardware to deploy these remote nTop boxes.  The best
that I've found so far is the GCT/Allwell 1030N or 3036N set top box that I
can get for 300 (US$) with 2 10/100 NIC cards.

My questions are:

1.  Is there any future project to have an embedded nTop version (like
nProbe)?
2.  In the nTopFoils.pdf document, Luca has mention a future nBox appliance
having 3 NIC.  Is it also a Cyclades product?  Can we have the make/model?

Thanks

Mike
