What I can tell you is: - bear in mind that ntop will monitor all the traffic it sees (many hosts = a lot of load = a lot of memory) - you must start ntop according to your needs (for instance have a look at -B and -j flags) - you don't often need to capture all the traffic for finding out what's going on.
In your case Inaki, can you please tell us more about your environment? Cheers, Luca -- Luca Deri NETikos S.p.A. Via Matteucci 34/B 56124 Pisa, Italy.
