Dear Ntop People

Thanks for the project

I have a pair of questions which might be a bugreport but I am not sure
;-)

QUESTION #1:

amd64:
internal interface is bond0 (bonded eth0,eth1) and has MTU size set to
9000. external interface eth2 has standard mtu of 1500. Also there is
secondary interface on eth2:

bond0   UP BROADCAST RUNNING MASTER MULTICAST  MTU:9000  Metric:1
eth0    UP BROADCAST RUNNING SLAVE MULTICAST  MTU:9000  Metric:1
eth1    UP BROADCAST RUNNING SLAVE MULTICAST  MTU:9000  Metric:1
eth2    UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
eth2:1  UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
lo      UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1

ntop thinks

Name    Device  Type    Speed   Sampling Rate   MTU     Header  Address IPv6 
Addresses
eth2    eth2    Ethernet                0       1514    14      XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 
::/0
eth2:1  eth2:1  No link-layer encapsulation virtual             0       8232    
4       192.168.22.16    
bond0   bond0   Ethernet                0       1514    14      10.0.0.1        
::/0

cmdline

/usr/sbin/ntop -d -L -u ntop -P /var/lib/ntop --skip-version-check -a 
/var/log/ntop/access.log -i eth2,bond0,lo -p /etc/ntop/protocol.list -O 
/var/log/ntop -w 0 -W 3011 --trace-level 1

ia64:
Similar story is on the other box (ia64 arch), where interface is not bonded 
but has
MTU 9000, ntop reports 1514 for it and 8232 for virtual external interface and
lo

eth0      UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:9000  Metric:1
eth1      UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
eth1:1    UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
lo        UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1

ntop:

Name    Device  Type    Speed   Sampling Rate   MTU     Header  Address IPv6 
Addresses
eth1    eth1    Ethernet                0       1514    14      XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 
::/0
eth1:1  eth1:1  No link-layer encapsulation virtual             0       8232    
4       192.168.22.18    
eth0    eth0    Ethernet                0       1514    14      10.0.0.111      
::/0

/usr/sbin/ntop -d -L -u ntop -P /var/lib/ntop --skip-version-check -a 
/var/log/ntop/access.log -i eth1,eth0,lo -p /etc/ntop/protocol.list -O 
/var/log/ntop -w 0 -W 3011 -w 0 -W 3011 --trace-level 1

Am I missing something or ntop simply got confused?
I am running Debian etch on both of them, and version is
3:3.2-8 (so it is upstream version 3.2)

QUESTION #2:

Also I got a flood of warnings in syslog stating
 ntop[24624]:   **WARNING** packet truncated (9014->8232)

for different original packet sizes. I had to lower --trace-level to 1. I guess
I can find the source service for those messages somewhere in ntop reports,
don't I? :-) I wish there was a way just to elect to don't display this
specific warning message. 


Thanks very much in advance
