NetLimiter - Control and Monitor Your Internet Traffic

Today many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) set bandwidth quota for their internet plan. Your download and upload is limited to that quota, and if you exceeds that limit, your internet speed may be shaped down or even worse, you may be charged for each excessive megabytes that you use. This is very troublesome as you would never know how much download or upload your computer (or any computer in your network) use. Although some ISP gives you the details of how much you spent from your bandwidth quota, the reports may not be very accurate nor detailed enough. Therefore you need a good network monitor to monitor how much you use Internet.

NetLimiter Pro is a program which allows you to monitor your network traffic activity. It can monitor your Internet use and LAN traffic. It gives you detailed report of your network traffic since this program is installed. You can view the reports in daily, monthly, yearly or you can customise to any time range. As the program name, this software also able to limit the connection speed for each process (or the whole program) running in your system. Therefore you can have total control of every traffic coming and going out of your computer. Additional features include information and statistics of network usage for each process and programs in your computer, detailed process information, personal firewall, and remote administration. To make specific network settings, you can specify filters and rules for each program as well.

Basically, there are
three versions of NetLimiter, first is the Monitor version (Free), which only allow you to monitor your internet bandwidth and produce statistics report. The second is NetLimiter Lite (US$16.95) which allows you to limit your network usage. The third one is the most complete one, NetLimiter Pro ($29.95) comes with a personal firewall and other additional features which gives you more control in limiting and monitoring your network bandwidth. See http://www.netlimiter.com for more details.

Overall, NetLimiter Pro is a very good programs to control and monitor your computer network use. About the basic functionality, it has done a very good job by providing very detailed report for each process in every program and comprehensive connection speed limiter. NetLimiter Pro is also complete with many useful features such as personal firewall. However, these additional features also mean a drawback, that is this program consume quite large memory space (around 12MB).
I say that this program is suitable for everyone whose computer connected to a local network and for whom Internet speed is limited by bandwidth quota.
