ntop is very cool (hi Anthony!) but is targeted at
measuring flow through a point in your network.
That point can of course be an endpoint.

Simon needs to test a network he doesn't own.

Mr David will correct me if I'm wrong, but ntop is like
top for your network. Like NetFlow reporting.

Top doesn't tell you that your memory/cpu/disk is failing.
At this point my analogy breaks. :-)
