I would take ntop with a large grain of salt.  I have had it running on 
my main Linux box behind an ADSL router/firewall.  The traffic this box 
sends to many Internet destinations (my ISP, www.google.com, etc) is all 
misclassified as traffic to a web site that I connected just after 
restarting ntop.  IE, my default router is named www.mirror.ac.uk...

Perhaps it is my configuration, but I don't think so.  I don't think the 
tool is really level 3 aware.
