Performace is mostly an issue of memory - ntop needs enough so it does NOT swap. Read up in the list's back traffic on this.
ntop sniffs in promiscuous mode, using libpcap to intercept the traffic at the interface level - it doesn't affect the packets nor any other consumers of same. -----Burton For US-based commercial support for ntop, see http://www.ntopsupport.com. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Chris K Ellsworth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2003 22:33:06 -0800 >I am running an ISP(lead admin, 2 member staff, me and owner) and love >finding cool monitoring tools, i already have mrtg, iptraf, and i am >starting to play with ettercap.
