ntop

ntop is a tool for monitoring network traffic. Using NTOP to display network usage is more intuitive and detailed than MRTG. NTOP can even list the network bandwidth utilization of each node computer.

Functions of NTOP

NTOP mainly provides the following functions:

◆ Automatically identify useful information from the network;

◆ Convert intercepted data packets into an easily identifiable format;

◆ Analyze communication failures in the network environment;

◆ Detect communication bottlenecks in the network environment;

◆ Record the time and process of network communication.

It can determine various problems existing on the network by analyzing network traffic; it can also be used to determine whether hackers are attacking the network system; it can also easily display specific network protocols, hosts that occupy a large amount of bandwidth, and various communications Detailed information such as the target host, the sending time of the data packet, and the delay in delivering the data packet. By understanding this information, network administrators can respond promptly to faults and optimize and adjust the network accordingly to ensure the efficiency and safety of network operations.
