ntop creates a new hash/list entry for each new host/TCP
session seen. In case of DOS (Denial Of Service) an
attacker can easily exhaust all the host available memory
because ntop is creating entries for dummy hosts. In
order to avoid this you can set an upper limit in order
to limit the memory ntop can use.
