Hey guys,

I work at an institution that has some bandwidth limitations to the machine
that Ntop will be operating on. Our network has trunks of several Gb, and
can burst to take full advantage of those speeds, but the machine Ntop will
be on only has a 1Gb line. To compensate for this, we have the idea of
stripping off all the packet headers from the packets, and only sending the
packet headers to Ntop. This does work, but there is one problem: Ntop
reads the length of the packets not from the header, but from the packet
itself (or so it seems). IE when doing this, Ntop sees the length of all
packets at 64 bytes, but we want the length of the packet itself (which
should be in the packet header), not the length of the header. In short, we
are looking for Ntop to pull the length from the packet header as well as
the actual received length of the packet.

I have combed through all the Ntop 2.0 documentation that I can find,
watched countless youtube videos, gone through the command line arguments,
and can not find any setting remotely similar to what we want. Is there a
way for us to modify Ntop so that we can change this one little thing?


Thanks

Will
