[afnog] ntop and swap space

[Antonio Godinho]

I had a similar problem with NTOP in that it would stop responding after 
starting it in only a few seconds. It turns out that it needs quite a lot of 
memory, I increased the memory and it worked fine. It depends on how much 
traffic you are collecting as well.

Cheers,
