OK I will rephrase my question.  I combined the two together.  Sorry
about that.  First off  I would like to know what the list would
recommend for network flow.  Showing bottlenecks, src and dst of
packets.  I have used ntop, and was curious what else was out there.


The other question was geared toward system monitoring.  Nagios looks
promising.  I was wondering what others were using, and what would be
recommended.

thanks for the responses
Chris
