ntop develops open source network traffic monitoring applications, from its original web-based ntop to next-generation ntopng—a high-speed traffic probe based on libpcap for monitoring usage, deep packet inspection, and IDS/IPS acceleration with Bro and Suricata. Offering cost-effective solutions beyond standard metrics with detailed protocol analysis, ntop powers commercial products while promoting open source. InfluxDB enabled scalable storage and real-time querying of high-velocity network telemetry from ntopng, powering interactive dashboards, anomaly detection, long-term trend analysis, and Layer 7 protocol insights—delivering unprecedented traffic visibility, accelerated threat detection, and comprehensive network observability across enterprise deployments.
