Traffic Control Monitor consists of two components: Tcmon.exe, the monitor shell and Tccom.exe, the traffic control COM server.

TcMon

TcMon shows information about traffic-control interfaces on a local or remote computer, which can be selected from the menu by clicking Computer, and then clicking Select computer.... Traffic control-enabled interfaces are listed in a drop-down menu that allows you to select one.

Three tabs display the following information:

This application is written in Microsoft® Visual Basic®.

TcCom

Tccom.exe is the service used by TcMon to communicate with the traffic control server. It can also be called by applications or scripts in VBScript or other scripting languages. Network administrators can use it to remotely configure traffic control on a host.

Before you can use TcMon on a target computer, you must register and start TcCom on that computer using the following syntax:

tccom -RegServer

To start TcCom as a service once it has been installed, run:

tccom -Service

To un-register TcCom, run the following on the target computer:
