ntopng is the next generation version of the original ntop, a network
traffic probe that shows the network usage, similar to what the popular
top Unix command does. ntop is based on libpcap and it has been written
in a portable way in order to virtually run on every Unix platform,
MacOSX and on Win32 as well.
Might I suggest a different package name, e.g. 'ntop-ng'?
At a glance, 'ntopng' reads to me as "N-to-PNG", along the lines of
existing file-format converter programs. While it's not absolutely
necessary to avoid that, if there's no real downside to doing so, it
might be a good idea.
I'm also not sure how good "-ng"-style names are in the first place,
unless you are positive that there will never be a future "next"
generation after this one; a name like "ntop2" would be more
forward-development-compatible in that light. But that's just my
principles speaking, not a source of present confusion.
