[Ntop] US Trip - PF_RING

[Gary Gatten]

Luca, this doc is pretty sweet!  Couple questions:

 

1.) Linux is specifically mentioned several times, is PF_RING Linux
only, or can run on *BSD, other *nix?

 

2.) I see PF_RING as a "tool" that could be used for high speed packet
processing of any kind, such as IPS/IDS, Firewall, Load Balancers, etc.
Anything that requires processing high rates of packets?  Or am I way
off here?  Your docs briefly mention IPS and Load Balancer type
functions.  It would be great if someone could take the pf (packet
firewall) code and make it compatible with pf_ring and even the Tile64.
Add in a couple 1TB disks for logging and flow storage for regression
analysis / forensics and you would have an awesome piece of hardware!

Hi Luca,
For those of us not in the US, we would appreciate it if you can create
a podcast with and slides of your talks. Should really benefit the
community lots. It will also help me make additions to the NTOP Guide.
Have a safe trip. Shalom

Dear all,
tomorrow I will fly to US. On Fri afternoon I will give a (rather
lengthy/free) tutorial
(http://cms.comsoc.org/eprise/main/SiteGen/IM_2009/Content/Home/IM2009_T
utorials.html)
at Hofstra University (New York) where I will speak about high-speed
monitoring. The idea is to cover in detail PF_RING (unfortunately most
of you use it just for packet capture but it is much more than that),
how multicore/multiprocessor can be exploited for accelerating packet
capture, and finally the latest born TNAPI.

The following week (8-14 June) I will be in California, around Mountain
View, to meet some friends including some ntop users.

If some of you is interested can show up at the tutorial. Otherwise we
could organize a meeting (even informal) just to see if we can find some
time to talk about ntop, and me to talk about the future of ntop I am
currently designing.

Please drop me a mail if interested.

Luca
