We’re excited to announce the new nProbe 10.8 release! This release introduces features that improve visibility, performance, and protocol intelligence, while also addressing many community-requested improvements and fixes. Quality of Experience (QoE) Monitoring Understanding network performance from the user’s perspective is more important than ever. With QoE computation, nProbe now allows you to assess the […]

We’re excited to announce a new release of Cento 2.2, our high-performance flow-based traffic processing engine. This release brings major enhancements in traffic analysis capabilities, particularly for mobile network monitoring, quality assessment, and flow offloading on Napatech adapters. Whether you’re deploying Cento in ISP-grade infrastructures or using it for deep traffic inspection, this release is […]

This is to announce a new PF_RING release 9.0.0! This release brings significant improvements for a deeper flow tracking integrations, making PF_RING even more powerful for building high-performance flow processing networking applications able to leverage on state-of-the-art hardware offloads at high speed. In fact we’ve streamlined support for the latest Napatech SmartNIC’s Flow Manager FPGA, […]

We’re excited to announce the release of nDPI 4.14, a maintenance release that also includes some cool new protocol dissectors and fixes. As you know, maintaining a DPI library is no easy task, and this release is no exception. We’ve worked hard to enhance existing dissectors, making them more robust and efficient. We’ve also cleaned […]

Last week ntop has been invited to give a talk at neacademy in Napoli, Italy. The topic was network fingerprints and nDPI. Network fingerprints such as JA4 have been made popular by cybersecurity that uses them to spot (with limited false positives) malware and use them to find traffic pattern similarities. During the talk, we […]

In this contributed post the Universidade de Aveiro, Instituto de Telecomunicações, Portugal, explains how nProbe has be successfully used in 5G networks.   Introduction As networks evolve to meet the demands of modern connectivity, the need for intelligent traffic monitoring and anomaly detection becomes increasingly critical. In the context of 5G networks, where high-speed data […]

Quality of Experience (QoE) measures how satisfied users are with a network service based on their subjective perception. Unlike Quality of Service (QoS), which focuses on technical metrics (e.g., latency, jitter, packet loss), QoE evaluates the actual end-user experience—such as video streaming smoothness, call clarity, or web browsing responsiveness. QoE is important from various points […]

PacketFest will talk place in Zurich, Switzerland, on May 8-9 and it will be the event where the ntop and wireshark communities meet. On May 7th we organize for the ntop community an in-presence training session where we will show the latest news about ntop tools and teach how to master them. The training is […]

ntopng has several ways to spot unusual traffic patterns, like: Checking if a device is behaving strangely. Sending alerts when a threshold is reached. Looking for changes in traffic metrics (like how much traffic is coming from a particular host). Seeing if host services change. To make these checks even better, ntopng added a new […]

For this reason, some time ago we introduced the Infrastructure Monitoring in ntopng, as described in a previous blog post, which is the ability to use ntopng to monitor other ntopng instances, by means of its Active Monitoring capabilities. This infrastructure monitoring feature allows users to gain real-time insights into the status of their ntopng instances, […]
