CONFIG_NTOP
  ntop is a network traffic probe that shows the network usage, similar to what
  the popular top Unix command does. ntop is based on libpcap and it has been 
  written in a portable way in order to virtually run on every Unix platform 
  and on Win32 as well.

  ntop comes with two applications:

    * the 'classical' ntop that sports an embedded web server
    * intop (interactive ntop) is basically a network shell based on the ntop engine.
    
  ntop users can use a a web browser (e.g. netscape) to navigate through ntop 
  (that acts as a web server) traffic information and get a dump of the network 
  status. In the latter case, ntop can be seen as a simple RMON-like agent with an 
  embedded web interface. The use of:
    
    * a web interface
    * limited configuration and administration via the web interface
    * reduced CPU and memory usage (they vary according to network size and traffic) 
		
  make ntop easy to use and suitable for monitoring various kind of networks.
