Well, I guess you didn't read docs/FAQ... it is available on your ntop
instance in About | FAQ.   There is an entire section on what ntop is and
how it works, which talks about the layer 2 / layer 3 issues.  Probably
should start there.

Subject: [Ntop] Protocol Decoders (plain txt)

Hello all,

Sorry for the orig. html post!

I hope I didn't just miss this in the docs/list/faq, but I was wondering if
there was a list of what protocols ntop can decode. I'm hoping to use ntop
to determine what percentage of the traffic flowing out our internet
connection is P2P. I have ntop 3.2 up and working wonderfully, with the
protocol decoders on, don't trust mac addresses, and its listening on a span
port off the firewall. I see lots of classified traffic but also lots of
unknowns and was hoping to deduce what the unknowns could be, if there was a
list of what ntop knows about.

Also, are the protocol decoders based off of ip ports or are they doing some
sort of layer 7 decoding or is it something in between/both?

BTW - Ntop is wonderful - it's helped us countless times in discovering
what's actually happening on the local net.

Thanks,
-Mike
