I know there is a web site which hosts the emails from that forum but I'm never able to find it when I need it. I'll post it here. Nobody had any answers or a fix, just some anecdotal info:
<QUOTE FROM WISPA FORUM>
Your observations regarding accuracy of NTOP may be similar to mine.
You have to be careful that the data you are looking at matches the duration a specific client has been associated. I've found if a customer power cycles the equipment, NTOP sees the connection as a new one. Cumulative stats per IP may not be fairly stated. It helps to reset the data first when you want to do a few day analysis. If there is a different way, I'm listening.
