Monitor Network Traffic

with one comment

Networx is a freeware utility made by SoftPerfect.

Networx allows you to monitor all incoming and outgoing traffic on your computer.  This little utility keeps a database on the amount of traffic coming and going in your computer.  This utility is very useful in measuring how much data over a given time period and can query its own database.

With Networx you can also set an allowance or quota.  This is great for limited downloads from an ISP.

Think outside of the box.  If you have a computer you are using as a server, you can watch its traffic.  If that traffic reaches into the gigabytes, you may want to put in another network card for load balancing.  With that said, Networx is more than a download monitor, you can also use the GUI netstat to see the connections made to the computer.

The program is so powerful that you can set ‘peak’ times and adjust a schedule to ‘see’ what is happening on your network and the program is designed to synchronize with other Networx instances.
