No, they don't. It is clearly visible from following docs: - http://www.ntop.org/overview.html - http://www.splintered.net/sw/flow-tools/docs/ Go and read them, you will find your answer there. Or better - try to install both and play with them. Couple of the differences which can be spotted on the first sight: - Netflow v9 support - graphical interface - wide portability As for the 'efficiency' question - it depends on the purpose. From my experience, flow-tools programs are great for writing billing backends. I have't tried ntop yet, so I cannot tell. v. _______________________________________________ Flow-tools mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.splintered.net/mailman/listinfo/flow-tools
