ntop does not sample.  It processes every packet it sees and counts them.
Throughput measurement is over 1m.  This is rolled up to 1h and then 1d..

The various internal updates are on timers from 30s to 5m IIRC - look for
createThread in the source.  The throughput calc is this one:

initialize.c:   620       createThread(&myGlobals.dbUpdateThreadId,
updateDBHostsTrafficLoop,
 NULL);

>From the man ntop file:

       -r | --refresh-time
        Specifies  the  delay  (in  seconds) between screen updates (the
default is 3 sec�
        onds). If the -l flag is used, it specifies how often entries are
logged  in  the
        log  file.  Please  note  that if the delay is very short (1 second
for instance),
        ntop might not be able to process all the network traffic.

Hi Luca,

My bad, i was using an old bookmark. No errant link to speak of. However,
If i go to http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop the link to the
Ntop Archives points to http://listgateway.unipi.it/pipermail/ntop/ Going
there, the Archive lists only up to April 24th, the date of the migration.

Cheers,

Stuart

Hi Stuart,
the new list server is listgateway (the old one was listmanager), as
specified in http://www.ntop.org/needHelp.html and in the bottom of this
mail.

Can you please tell me where you've found the old address, so that I can
update the page?

Thanks, Luca
