builderau.com.au — Like the command-line tool with a similar name, ntop is a monitoring agent. Instead of monitoring system resource usage like top, ntop monitors network usage and provides some very sophisticated and informative data.

ntop xtra (windows): <a class="user" href="http://www.openxtra.co.uk/freestuff/ntop-xtra.php">http://www.openxtra.co.uk/freestuff/ntop-xtra.php</a>It generates a lot of reports, graphics and charts, analysing network flows, accessible through local port (3000). Stores datas in a rrdtool database. Very CPU friendly, but uses quite some memory space after a while.

With a name like ntop, you would think it was an app that ran from the command line. If that's what you were thinking try bmon, it's a bandwidth monitor that you can use while ssh'd into a box. <a class="user" href="http://people.suug.ch/~tgr/bmon/">http://people.suug.ch/~tgr/bmon/</a>
