Ntop needs a lot of RAM if you want to monitor serious bandwidth (ie LAN 
or big WAN).

I think the requirement is documented in the distro docs/FAQ 'Q. Why 
does ntop use so much memory ?'

IIRC correctly it uses 12-16 kB/host. Think about nmap 10/8.

Other caveats are 3.1 - the latest release - may not work too well on 
RELENG 4.

The Ntop list archives on gmane are prob your friends; the memory issues
come up often.

Yours sincerely.
