In the first case, +ntop displays the network status on the user's terminmal whereas in +web mode a web browser (e.g. netscape) can attach to ntop (that acts +as a web server) and get a dump of thge network status. In the latter +case, ntop can be seen as a simple RMON-like agent with an embedded +web interface. |
