Would it be practicable for ntop to detect devices that qualify as "scanning 
vast numbers of destinations" to be tagged and throttled?  What I am 
picturing is being able to set a connection count thresh hold for localnet 
devices.  Ntop should then be able to say: If a localnet device exceeds 
thresh hold the device will no longer track connection information, rather 
the device will be visibly flagged and a short snapshot of past 
connections would be displayed.  I imagine some type of timer would need 
to be set (an hour?) that allows ntop to open the flood gates for that 
host again.

My apologies if I am way of base.
