man ntop
 
       -b | --disable-decoders
        This parameter disables protocol decoders.
 
        Protocol decoders examine and collect information about layer 2 protocols such as NetBIOS or Netware SAP, as  well
        as about specific tcp/ip (layer 3) protocols, such as DNS, http and ftp.
 
        This support is specifically coded for each protocol and is different from the capability to count raw information
        (packets and bytes) by protocol specified by the -p | --protocols parameter, below.
 
        Decoding protocols is a significant consumer of resources. If the ntop host is underpowered or monitoring  a  very
        busy  network,  you  may  wish to disable protocol decoding via this parameter.  It may also be appropriate to use
        this parameter if you believe that ntop has problems handling some protocols that occur on your network.
 
        Even if decoding is disabled, ftp-data traffic is still decoded to look for passive ftp port commands.
