I am very happy that there is a open-source tool as great
as ntop, however, i have some issues with seperating local
& remote hosts.

I have ntop running between a layer-3 switch that has
several network segments coming to it(172.16.1.x,
172.16.2.x, etc..) and a netscreen firewall.

When i don't set the "Local Subnet Address", all of the
hosts display individually which is what i want.

However, when i specify the Local Subnet as 172.16.0.0/16,
all of the local addresses get bundled into one ip address
which is the address of the netscreen firewall. I believe
ntop does this automatically, but seeing all local traffic
as one ip address is not very useful so is there any way
to disable this???

I think ntop gets confused because the netscreen forward
packets at layer 2. I think grouping things together like
this is by design but it ruins things for me as i cant get
individual host information.

If anyone has encountered this, please let me know how you
solved it.

Thanks
