LiFTeR: Changes for May 8, 2017
- nDPI{,-devel}-1.8-3.{fc20,fc21,fc22,fc23,fc24,fc25,el6,el7}.{i686,x86_64}.rpm - nDPI is a ntop-maintained superset of
the popular OpenDPI library. Released under the GPL license, its goal is to extend the original library by adding new protocols that are otherwise available
only on the paid version of OpenDPI. In addition to Unix platforms, we also support Windows, in order to provide you a cross-platform DPI experience.
Furthermore, we have modified nDPI do be more suitable for traffic monitoring applications, by disabling specific features that slow down the DPI engine while
being them un-necessary for network traffic monitoring.
nDPI is used by both ntop and nProbe for adding application-layer detection of protocols, regardless of the port being used. This means that it is possible to both detect known protocols on non-standard ports (e.g. detect http non ports other than 80), and also the opposite (e.g. detect Skype traffic on port 80). This is because nowadays the concept of port=application no longer holds.
See here for the list of supported protocols.
This version eliminates a dependency for CentOS/RHEL 6 for the x86_64 architecture. The other revisions for all other systems and architectures are to maintain revision compatibility.
