Data Aggregation in ntopng: Host Pools vs Observation Points
ntopng allows users to aggregate data according to various criteria. In networking, IP addressing (network and mask/CIDR) and VLANs are typical solutions to the problem of aggregating homogeneous hosts (e.g. when hosts carry on similar tasks). Sometimes these aggregation facilities are not flexible enough to cluster hosts that have the same operating system, or flows originated by the same router/switch. In addition to typical network-based criteria such as IP, VLAN, ntopng implements two more data aggregation facilities. Hosts Aggregation: Host Pools A host pool is a logical aggregation of hosts, …

n2n 3.0 is Here !
During the last year, long discussed ideas turned into implemented functionalities – adding remarkably to n2n’s rich feature set and each of them worthy of note. The level achieved made us think it justified even a major release. Welcome, n2n 3.0 ! Starting from this stable platform, future versions of n2n’s 3.x series will further promote its versatility while keeping up compatibility. To achieve this, development will mainly focus on areas outside the underlying core hole-punching protocol and will include but probably not be limited to connection handling, management capabilities, …

Introducing PF_RING ZC Support for Mellanox Adapters
PF_RING ZC is ntop’s high-speed zero-copy technology for high speed packet capture and processing. Until now ZC supported 10/40/100 Gbit adapters from Intel based on ASIC chips, in addition to the FPGA-based 100 Gbit adapters already supported by PF_RING including Accolade/Napatech/Silicom. This post is to announce a new ZC driver, known as mlx, supporting a new family of 100 Gbit ASIC-based adapters, this time from Mellanox/NVIDIA, including ConnectX-5 and ConnectX-6 adapters. The supported ConnectX adapters from Mellanox, in combination with the new mlx driver, demonstrated to be capable of high performance, by …

Webinar on Traffic Analysis for Cybersecurity: Current State of the Art and Ongoing Developments
On October 28th at 4 PM CET / 10 AM EST we have organised a webinar on cybersecurity. The idea was to describe in detail what we have implemented so far for tackling cybersecurity events, and what are the future plans and ongoing developments. Topics included nDPI traffic analysis: flow risks and Encrypted Traffic Analysis (ETA). Behavioural traffic analysis. Combining nProbe and ntop with IPS facilities. Beyond nProbe Agent: user and process analysis in monitored flows. For those who have missed the event, here you can find the presentation slides …
