N-Stat Lite

N-Stat Lite provides you with a comprehensive network monitoring application that you can use to get statistics on the traffic speed and usage, as well as monitor the transfers in real-time.

The application comes in handy to administrators who want a simple, yet effective utility for monitoring device availability and detecting unusual traffic that might be a sign of unauthorized activity.

N-Stat Lite is capable of detecting Ethernet, wireless networks and mobile broadbands, providing a centralized platform for all. The user-friendly and intuitive interface comprises data concerning all the identified connections, displaying it in a structured manner. You can optionally set the program to include the network tunnels within the table.

Details regarding the adapter name, its description and type are shown, along with the device availability and its status.

One interesting feature of N-Stat Lite is the possibility to display a summary of the statistical information, namely upload and download speeds, the elapsed up-time and the traffic usage for each detected adapter or tunnel. This allows on-screen real-time monitoring, while the application is minimized to the system tray.

But that is not all. N-Stat Lite generates a graph view representing the average download and upload speeds, enabling you to view the connection details (physical, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses), as well as information on the current, daily, monthly and yearly traffic speed and usage. You can change the unit format for all the data and reset all the statistics with just a click.

To sum up, N-Stat Lite aims to offer a comfortable method of keeping an eye on the network traffic. While some improvements can be made (for instance, storing historical data on the traffic usage), it proves to be a reliable tool for any network administrator.
