In my experience, while Ntop is a wicked cool tool, it's stability is dependent on many factors, not just the OS.
Until Ntop 3.1, I could rarely keep a runtime up for more than a day or so. The biggest issue generally being resource utilization (i.e. memory). But I'll say that 3.1 definitely seems SIGNIFICANTLY more stable for me than any previous version. However, if you "can't afford any application segfault", you probably want to look at a commercial solution. With relatively few exceptions, I don't recommend putting mission-critical services on OpenSource implementations (those exceptions being things like Sendmail and BIND, which have multiple decades of development behind them). > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Antonio Mitarotondo > Sent: Friday, January 21, 2005 5:20 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Ntop] NTop > > Hello all. > We need to deploy a very stable NTop installation.
