the 2.1 branch is very stable on Linux, IMHO, and I have it getting absolutely hammered with sFlow traffic from my Foundry FastIron routing cores.
Windows environments tend to be less stable than UNIX/Linux environments pretty much across the board. For network monitoring and such, I would highly recommend you use a UNIX box for that - Windows's networking code isn't really as good, and you may have trouble with large volumes of traffic. NTOP is also very memory-intensive and UNIX tends to do a better job of managing such resources. --- Mark Gibbons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Very Interesting. > > I will try this.
