As far as I understand what you wrote, you're saying that NTOP is good
for traffic-monitoring, but not traffic-counting, right?

So it should be used for gathering infos about WHAT traffic is being
done, like SMTP, HTTP and so on...

You suggested the use of MRTG... Do you have any more clues about it?
Would you suggest it to be used for gathering periodical infos about the
amount of traffic passed through my HDSL connection???

Thanx in advance...
