I believe you're using ntop on a border gateway so it's behaving normally the way you started. Consider using -m and -g flags: they will help a lot.

Running ntop3.0 on FreeBSD-5.2.1
My network bandwith is about 8Mbps,I use top command to monitor ntop running.I discover that Memory size grow up
about 3M/sec.It is terrible.It use too much memory and CPU time.
ntop process die in twenty min.
I use rrd to save data in database,but not improve much.
Following is my parameter. ntop-d -L --set-pcap-nonblocking -i fxp0 -w 3000 -W 0 -a /var/log/ntop.access.log -u nobody -P /var/db/ntop -n -o
