ntop is computer software that probes a computer network to show network use in a way similar to what the program top does for processes. Not to be confused with the CAD/CAE software nTop (formerly nTopology).
==Software== In interactive mode, it displays the network status on the user's terminal. In Web mode, it acts as a web server, creating a HTML dump of the network status. It supports a NetFlow-sFlow emitter-collector, a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) based client interface for creating ntop-centric monitoring applications, and RRDtool (RRD) for persistently storing traffic statistics.
