RE: [Ntop] Dropped by the kernel

[Burton M. Strauss III]

Read the discussions in this WHOLE thread.  That's largely the point - different measurement points measure different things and there's no way to reconcile them even for a single platform, let alone across platforms.  To figure out what ps_drop means you need to dig into the interface driver code and the ip stack.

 

ntop shows it's numbers on the Stats | Traffic page - look for For device: 'eth1' (current reporting device).

The OS typically shows it's numbers via ifconfig or some such tool.
