ntopng 3.6 release is paving the way to metrics-based traffic analysis. We have finally put ntopng on top of a timeseries-independent layer that allowed us to currently RRD and InfluxDB and in the future other backends. This means that you can now also (you can for instance use ntopng as a flow exporter and as […]
Introducing @ntop_community Telegram Group

Introducing PF_RING FT: nDPI-based Flow Classification and Filtering for PF_RING and DPDK
Motivation Most network monitoring and security applications are based on flow processing, which is in practice the activity of grouping packets based on common attributes (e.g. source and destination IP, source and destination port, protocol, etc.) and do some analysis based on the collected information. What happens behind the scenes can be divided in a few major […]
