will ntop do what i want?

Hello all,

I'm new to ntop. I have a network of 50 computers. I'd like to find out,

[1] Which machine is using the max. bandwith at
(a) any given time
(b) over a period of time

[2] Which ports/applications are using the most network bandwidth?

[3] What IP addresses they are connecting to?

[4] What IP's they are downloading data from?

[5] Also, can data be captured over a period of time for offline analysis?

The most important is to determine which machine, which port is using the
max. network resources.

Thanks!
Steve

You won't have stats over a period unless you run ntop from pcap file

Ntop has an "host-centric" view. This means that for each host you
have port (!= application) usage

You have something about the sessions the host has, but you won't have
the whole history of these sessions

Capture pcap file and sent it to ntop.
