-
- BWMeter is a powerful bandwidth meter, monitor and traffic
- controller, which measures, displays and controls all traffic
- to/from your computer or on your network. Unlike other products,
- it can analyze the data packets (where they come from, where they
- go, which port and protocol they use). This makes it possible to
- distinguish between local and internet traffic for example. BWMeter
- can also be used for traffic control by setting a speed limit for
- all kinds of connections or restricting access to certain internet
- sites. It creates statistics for all computers in your network,
- measuring and displaying all LAN traffic as well as download /
- upload from the internet. You can even define filters which show
- your transfer with certain internet addresses (e.g. to see how much
- data you download from your favorite news server). BWMeter is ideal
- for home users to get an overview of how much bandwidth they use,
- as well as small to large businesses, where one computer can
- control the traffic and maintain the statistics of downloaded /
- uploaded data of all computers in the network. The product is easy
- to configure and offers a rich set of options and features for
- beginners as well as experts and network administrators.
-
- All information about how to use this program can be found in the
- online manual, which is accessible by pressing F1 or selecting the
- Help menu item.
