Hi, We are a group of students, trying to do research on Deep Packet Inspection technologies. We found that NTOP provides a suite of products, which can be used in a telecom operator's infrastructure for traffic shaping, load balancing, security and real time data analysis. Our current understanding is that with NTOP, Mobile operators can utilize the existing infrastructure(No need to buy any dedicated ASIC or FPGA based solutions and run NTOP based software solutions directly on their exisiting hardware devices) to achieve these goals. Please confirm if our understanding is indeed correct. From the software architecture perspective, how these different pieces(ntopng, nprobe, nDisk, nDPI and PF_RING) fit together, is another piece of puzzle. Basically we want to develop a distributed application(based on NTOP based products) which runs on different nodes in the mobile operator's network, which parses, collect and exposes that information in real time in a nice Graphical User Interface. Any comments, guidelines would help us tremendously.
Thanks, Kumar Amit Mehta Graduate student MSc. Computer and Systems Engineering Tallinn University of Technology _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [email protected] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
