About:
ntopng is a high-performance network traffic probe and analyzer that provides real-time visibility into network usage and applications. It uses libpcap to capture packets and leverages nDPI for deep packet inspection to classify traffic. The tool presents detailed metrics and historical data through a web-based interface for comprehensive network monitoring.
Key Features:
  • Real-time traffic analysis and visualization
  • Deep packet inspection with nDPI for application identification
  • Web-based dashboard for monitoring and reporting
  • Support for sFlow, NetFlow, and IPFIX collectors
  • Geolocation and historical traffic data tracking
Use Cases:
  • Network performance monitoring and troubleshooting
  • Bandwidth usage analysis and application identification
  • Security monitoring and anomaly detection
  • Capacity planning and traffic pattern analysis
Alternatives:
  • iftop – Lighterweight real-time bandwidth monitor without web UI or deep packet inspection
  • Wireshark – Packet-level analyzer for deep debugging, less focused on continuous monitoring and traffic statistics
  • NetFlow Analyzer – Commercial alternative with similar flow analysis capabilities and enterprise features
