This is a useful tool for network managers. It's very
useful in scenarios where all users access Internet through a proxy and the
network administrator wants to monitor Internet usage. The tool shows traffic
from all available network connections and displays real-time bandwidth usage
graphically. Bandwidth Monitor lets you monitor all types of traffic on both
WAN and LAN. In addition, you can set alerts, if a particular connection exceeds
the threshold limits for data transfer.
|
Bandwidth Monitor works with all types
of network connections including phone modems, DSL, cable modems, LAN,
satellites and more. You can install this tool on a Windows machine running
proxy services. After installation, it will show a graphical bandwidth
graph on your screen. In order to configure the tool, just right-click the
graph and select the options that you want to configure.
