Remember, there's a difference between layer 2 protocols (of which ntop
knows only a few) and layer 3 (such as ftp, http, et al) where ntop
understands the underlying tcp or udp protocol and can count them based on
port #.

Adding layer 2 protocols requires writing code, and adding counters - check
into the other layer 2 protocols (protocol.c) in processPacket() for
examples.

Subject: [Ntop] custom ethernet types ?


Hi,

In my ntop (2.2) reports I have a number of packets on the "Other" line
for ethernet packets (under IP, ARP, OSPF and such). I dislike having
things in "Others", I prefer knowing what it is (for better catching of
abnormal traffic). With tcp/udp packets thats'not a problem, I can use
the -p flag... but can I do the same thing for ethernet packets ?

I used a sniffer to catch these "other" packets. Looks like they are
Logical Link Control frames of type 0x01a1 and 0x01a2... What I ned is a
command line option or a file where I can say "Display these as LLC
packets".

Does this exists already ?

Thank you

Lo�c
