Why each option
ntopng can be deployed in various network configurations, including monitoring a single host, acting as a border gateway, or passively analyzing traffic on a mirror line.
''Public Site'' is a general term describing a location accessible over the internet and is not a specific ntopng deployment scenario or mode of operation.
''Switched Gateway'' is not a standard or defined ntopng deployment scenario; while ntopng can monitor a gateway connected to a switch, this term does not describe a distinct deployment method.
In a Simple Host deployment, ntopng runs directly on a server or workstation to monitor the network traffic originating from or destined for that specific machine.
A Border Gateway deployment involves ntopng monitoring traffic that passes through a network's entry and exit points, often when installed on a router or firewall device.
A Mirror Line deployment entails ntopng passively receiving a copy of network traffic, typically from a switch's SPAN (Switched Port Analyzer) port or a network TAP, without interfering with the live traffic flow.
