NET Traffic Meter

Network monitoring can usually be done, in a rather simple form, using the dedicated function available in the Task Manager utility Windows comes with. For those interested in more details, charts and in-depth statistics, having a specialized software is a must.

One of the tools that fit that bill is NET Traffic Meter. Very easy to use and with a user friendly interface, this program will prove its worth after a bit of tinkering.

Before getting any accurate results, you have to configure some parameters and first of all it's the connection type and speed that should be specified. NET Traffic Meter enables you to choose the network interface that will be monitored and you can even create, save and load custom profiles that describe the settings in detail.

An interesting feature is the possibility to manually set the values for bandwidth and minimum transfer rates for download and upload. Other configurations include minimum time (in minutes) and transfer amount (in KB), as well as automatic bandwidth adjustment.

The traffic volume is also customizable, thus you can choose the desired size and type (monthly or weekly volume, or monthly pack) and these parameters will be taken into consideration when drawing the specific chart.

The statistics module of NET Traffic Meter is quite well-equipped and will present all the details in an easy to read table. You can view upload, download and total values for transferred data, maximum rate, connection time and estimated amount.

Once connected and with everything up and running, this software can be really helpful for those interested in network statistics. Packing a good feature set and fairly easy to use, NET Traffic Meter may earn a spot among the best tools of its kind.
