Measuring network traffic with Ntop

Alkis Georgopoulos pointed out in #ltsp channel how to do some maths for network traffic. The formula for movies, when xv is used, is: width x height x 12 bit/sec x fps Do your math :) I.e. an 640x400@25 movie needs about 50 Mbps independed of the screen resolution (the scaling happens on the client). A DVD needs about 125 Mbps. Barely viewable with a 100 mbps client. http://www.nubae.com/logs/ltsp20091104_pg2.html


Install Ntop program in both sides, in server and in chroot. Follow this basic setup for both cases. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ntop After that you can open web page (http://ip-number:3000) in server and in chroot for thin client. Here are examples. Ntop in server (192.168.1.112) side (Edubuntu DVD 9.10 AMD64 on KVM machine).

admin-edubuntu@edubuntu:~$ ps ax | grep ntop
 1092 ?        Ssl    1:21 /usr/sbin/ntop -d -L -u ntop -P /var/lib/ntop --access-log-file /var/log/ntop/access.log -i eth0 -p /etc/ntop/protocol.list -O /var/log/ntop
