I have small issue with Ntop 3.3.11-dev that I wonder if anyone else sees. Basically at some point the Libpcap Dropped Packet counter starts to go crazy increamenting way to fast, basically the more you refresh the page the higher the stats go. I noticed it a few weeks ago when I was troubleshooting the stability issues on Centos 5.3 but it didn't come back until now. This instance of Ntop has been up for 17-18days now when suddenly the dropped back went from 2% up and up....

Here is a little example with the time I hit refresh

6:54
Dropped (libpcap)       35.2%   2,104,631,637

6:57
Dropped (libpcap)       40.4%   2,413,942,059

8:40
Dropped (libpcap)       45.4%   2,735,237,999

8:42
Dropped (libpcap)       50.7%   3,057,525,920

I let it be until the next morning this time I refreshed the page asx fast as I could and look what happens.

6:38
Dropped (libpcap)       71.3%   4,666,158,554

6:38
Dropped (libpcap)       74.2%   4,854,085,280

6:38
Dropped (libpcap)       77.0%   5,042,015,632

6:38
Dropped (libpcap)       79.9%   5,229,949,802

6:39
Dropped (libpcap)       82.8%   5,417,891,784


So within 1 min it thinks it has seen 1 Billion packets. :) The network is a DS3 but it doesn't do anywhere near 10million packets/sec!

My full config and problem report page can be grabbed from my early post [7/24/09 7:00AM Subject: Centos 5.3 Unstable?]
