This project provides an APM (Application performance management)
system named nTrace. It can be used to monitor all kinds of network
application performance like TCP, HTTP and MYSQL .etc.

==========

==========

The entire procedure of adding new protocol analyzer in detail:

1. Copy template analyzer to somewhere
   cp /usr/share/ntrace/template_analyzer ~/XX_analyzer

2. Re-implement all proto analyzer interfaces, you can get detailed
   info of every interface from /usr/include/ntrace/proto_analyzer.h

3. Modify CMakeLists.txt to compile and install new proto analyzer
