(Copying this to ntop ... ntop-dev subscribers will have already seen the
commit)
I've just committed a reporting enhancement to ntop into the cvs.
This enhancement adds a new tab, "Total" to the ntop menu bar. The "Total"
tab mirrors "Sent" and "Rcvd", but presents the total traffic to/from a
host. Reports are labeled "Network Traffic: Total Data (Sent+Received)"
As part of this:
* new counters were introduced for ntop run-to-date byte and packet counts.
These are used in the calculation of average values -- preventing the absurd
values for "average" throughput when ntop is run with persistent data.
(To expand on this:
The old calc used the elapsed time since ntop started, along
with the totals for bytes and packets. So if persistent data
existed with "large" #s of packets/bytes, the reported Average
could substantially exceed the peak. Say you did 10M packets
over 24 hours, shutdown and restart ntop and did 1 packet.
ntop's peak would correctly be 1 packet in a 10s interval, but
the average would be 10M / 1 hour since startup or 2.8K per second.
* ntop.h constants were added and used in all the case constructs. These
mirror the existing STR_SORT_DATA_SENT_PROTOS with a
SORT_DATA_RECEIVED_PROTOS #define.
* A report footer was added to some of the reports, explaining how the
values are calculated and/or what they mean.
This addresses a request made on SourceForge:
