Chris -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lorenzo Fife Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 12:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Ntop] NTOP misc. questions Hi, i just installed NTOP on a debian machine (i'm learning Debian) and it seems GREAT. seems amazingly powerful, and i love it so far. however i'm curious about a few things. first, i've got the linux box running NTOP plugged into a catalyst 4507r switch, and the other hundreds of ports the switch has are all going to other hosts on the network. how is NTOP able to acquire information such as traffic and bandwidth of other hosts, if it's just a host itself? i mean, only the switch has that information, doesn't it? since only the switch has all traffic going through it to the outside world. so does my NTOP linux machine analyze EVERY packet moving on the network? how do i know if it's accurate, you know?
