Description-en: display network usage in web browser
ntop is a network traffic probe that shows the network usage, similar to what
the popular top Unix command does. ntop is based on libpcap and it has been
written in a portable way in order to virtually run on every Unix platform and
on Win32 as well.
.
ntop users can use a web browser to navigate through ntop (that acts as a
web server) traffic information and get a dump of the network status. In the
latter case, ntop can be seen as a simple RMON-like agent with an embedded web
interface.
The use of:
* a web interface
* limited configuration and administration via the web interface
* reduced CPU and memory usage (they vary according to network size
and traffic)
make ntop easy to use and suitable for monitoring various kind of networks.
.
This package contains the ntop daemon.
