Probes network traffic across the appliance and between two points of a network with the intention of analizing network traffic. Please describe the following in terms that a typical technical end-user would understand: 1. The appliance allows to plug into a virtual's developer or production environment whenever is needed to know with certainty what type of network traffic and protocols and in what proportion are being generated by the application(s) being tested/produced, and also to non-virtual environments through a virtual appliance, giving the user visibility of the network's usage without the need to install software onto a developer or production environment any additional applications or purchasing external measuring tools. 2. The appliance was built using LEAF Bering-uClibc's distribution as a base, which includes many packages already built and that provided basic OS functionality. LEAF Bering-uClibc is based on Debian, so a similar development environment was used with in VM using VMWare workstation. Ntop was not a package provided by LEAF, so I went ahead and compiled it in Debian's developement environment. Additional adjustments were made in order to make both the OS and ntop application into an appliance, like for example the main configuration screen with easy access to most common functions in the VM's shell. VMWare tools was installed (compiled) successfully and included in the virtual appliance, so vmxnet and vmhgfs are installed as modules. 3. Documentation is included in the .zip file 4. Only vmware tools. Last updated: 05/26/2006 Operating system: Linux 2.4.31 - Debian Applications installed: VMware Tools installed: Yes
