I'd like to pointed out that the author of ntop have now a freebsd (5.x)=20 box on which he could make some test and the latest version is running=20 quite smoothly here, at least it doesn't hangs anymore... The box is able to capture the mirrors traffic generated by two juniper M7= =20 loosing not more than 10% of the packets on aggregated traffic. The cpu=20 load is around 20% and the box is a P4 3ghz 1gb ram with intel fxp cards. The packet loss is due (according to Luca statement) to our threads=20 implementation and it should not happens having soo much free cpu :-) The version is running here is: Report created on Sat May 7 18:29:50 2005 [ntop uptime: 8 days 7:35:42] Generated by <http://www.ntop.org/>ntop v.3.1.1 MT (SSL)=20 [i386-unknown-freebsd5.3]=A9 1998-2005 by <mailto:deri@ntop.org>Luca Deri,= =20 built: Apr 20 2005 17:28:01.
