Hello list:

Has anyone on the list experienced monitoring at near 200 Mbps (100BaseFX
full-duplex) with ntop or another libpcap-based tool?

I was told by a colleague that libpcap has severe performance limitations
above FastEthernet speeds. But reading about nProbe's performance tests at
gigabit speeds (http://www.ntop.org/nProbe.html), which is also based on
libpcap, I am at a loss...

I need to implement such a monitoring solution (mainly identify top
bandwidth consumers - applications and hosts) on a busy 100Mbps full-duplex
link, so I am considering using ntop, argus or something like that... And
would like to know the caveats beforehand.

Can someone enlighten me about these libpcap/ntop performance issues and
ntop suitability?

Thank you very much in advance.
