Re: network analyzer

[Michael Loftis <mloftis@modwest.com>]

I can't recommend ntop.  It's really buggy and really really resource 
intensive.  Besides what he seems to be talking about is active service 
checks, not network monitoring.  So the original poster needs to straighten 
out what they actually want.  Network Analysis or network monitoring or 
host/service monitoring.  Three VERY different things.
