There is something, however, that needs to be explicitly stated, which is to decide whether it’s ntopng that should contact nProbe or vice versa, and as we’re in a…
Read MorenTop now uses the nDPI (network deep packet inspection) library to classify packets within network traffic for those protocols that either do not use a standard port (defined as well known ports like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers and https://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xhtml) or that are dynamically assigned.
