Subject: Re: Looking for packet shaping/viewer appliance/sotware
I run my ntop box with two NICs - one with an IP address that I use to
talk with the machine, the other is unnumbered and connected to the
mirror port. The firewall is connected to a switch dedicated to a
subnet between the firewall and my backbone switch. That subnet
contains, among other things, my squid proxy and my Maia Mailguard
box, which is the gateway to my Exchange box, and filters spam and
viruses coming in from the world.

What if your router is your firewall too ? Do you span the port that the
router plugs into the core switch and run ntop on that spanned port?
Do I give the ntop machine a ip address on the same subnet as the router
ethernet port?
Thanks...

Jesse I agree with Kurt completely if that is all you are looking at.
I have ntop running on a vm/XP machine. I catch high usage people all
the time.
This very simple and free program will show you immediately who's
talking.

If all you're looking to do is see bandwidth usage by protocol, and
other monitoring tasks, such as who your top 3 talkers are, etc., I
can heartily recommend putting up a *nix box on a mirror/span port on
the switch to which your firewall is connected, and running ntop.
ntop is really dang cool - http://www.ntop.org/overfview.html

At one of my clients we have the need to try and determine how the
internet
is being utilized. The 10mb is constantly swamped and I have a hard
time
believing it's for work-related reasons.
I'm looking at putting in some kind of software/device that analyzes
the
internet traffic and can tell me how much is being used for basic web
surfing, streaming video, webcam usage, p2p programs, internet radio,
or
whatever else might be happening.
I know packeteer has a product that does this, but we are NOT looking
to
"shape" the bandwidth at this time, merely view it so we can make a
determination of what to do from there. They used to have a "viewer"
product in the past long ago called PacketPup but I'm not sure if they
do
anymore...
Any recommendations on how I can determine what the internet is being
used
for as it relates to Applications?
Thanks
