Towards 100-Gbit Flow-Based Network Monitoring
Last week we have previewed at FlowCon 2016 conference our new 100 Gbit probe called nProbe cento (cento is 100 in Italian). You can find our presentation slides here. We believe that…

Yes, There’s Life After NetFlow
At ntop we've been playing with NetFlow/IPFIX since more than 10 years and been part of its standardisation. While we acknowledge that concept of flow (a set of packets with common properties…
Combining System and Network Visibility using nProbe and Sysdig
Introduction When in 1998 we have started the development of the original ntop, there were many Unix tools for monitoring network traffic: ping, tcpdump, netstat, and many others. Nevertheless we have decided…
Introducing nProbe v7
After more than three years of work, we are announcing the release of nProbe v7. This is a major evolution of v6 that many of you used in the bast few years.…
Monitoring Mobile Traffic (3G/LTE) with nProbe and ntopng #sharkfest14
At Sharkfest 2014 we have made a presentation/tutorial about mobile traffic monitoring using the ntop tools. Those who have not attended the conference can still have a chance to look at the…
Introducing nProbe Splunk App for (Free) Network and Application Monitoring
Splunk is a popular realtime data capture, aggregation, and data visualisation system. Designed initially for handling application logs, in its current version is available with a free enterprise license can index up…
How to Balance (Mobile) Traffic Across Applications Using PF_RING
Traffic monitoring requires packets to be received and processed in a coherent matter. Some people are lucky enough to get all interesting packet on a single interface, but this is unfortunately not…
Running nProbe and ntopng on Ubiquity EdgeRouter Lite
On this blog we have already discussed on how to compile and run ntopng and nProbe on a BeagleBoard and Raspberry Pi. Now we explain (courtesy of Shane Graham) how to achieve…
Using ntopng and nProbe on the BeagleBone (small is beautiful)
For years we enjoyed pushing the limits of our software products (our nBox recorder is able to handle multi-10Gbit interfaces for instance), but our roots are not there. All started in 2003…
Why nProbe+JSON+ZMQ instead of native sFlow/NetFlow support in ntopng?
Both sFlow and NetFlow/IPFIX are the two leading network monitoring protocols used today on the market. They are two binary protocols encapsulated over UDP, with data flowing (mono-directional) from the probe (usually…
Tracking and Troubleshooting Mobile Phone Users (IMSI) using the MicroCloud
The microcloud is one of the fields where s used extensively by mobile network operators. The reasons are manyfold: Data aggregation facilities offered in realtime by the microcloud. Realtime user-to-tunnel mapping. User…
Learning The ntop World of Apps
The main criticism to ntop is the lack of documentation. This is because we have to maintain many projects, have little time, and also because we prefer coding to documentation. We decided…
