We use ntop in our network and even though I think it is a very good
tool I also think it is overkill for what you want. If you are using a
box with iptables on it then ipac-ng or ulog-acctd will probably be more
what you're looking for. I am using ipac-ng, but I am considering
switching to ulog-acctd because I am getting second thoughts with
ipac-ng. (I have reason to believe it is not 100% accurate, but am still
trying to verify that.)

traffic stats wan-lan - ntop or better?

2004-12-18 Thread Joao Clemente
I had a look at my ISP billing page today and I got somewhat suspicious 
of something wrong with the reported traffic... I had just finished 
looking to my calamaris report and the calamaris report had 1/3 of the 
traffic reported in the ISP billing page...

I decided to get some tool to analize network traffic so that I can 
understand what am I paying for... I have the feeling that ntop is the 
tool to use, but has someone a better suggestion?

My setup is
ADSL Router   MyServer/Proxy
   \- hub -- Other Lan Machines
so altough my server is not the gateway, I think ntop analises 
everything that gets to the machine interface (promiscuous mode)

Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Joao Clemente
