W odróżnieniu do innych programów tego typu potrafi analizować pakiety danych(skąd pochodzą, gdzie są wysyłane i z jakich protokołów korzystają). Za pomocą programu można stworzyć szczegółowe raporty na temat ruchu w sieci oraz aktywności wybranych komputerów z sieci lokalnej.
Program jest prosty w konfiguracji i posiada wiele opcji przydatnych dla początkujących jak i ekspertów administrujących sieciami.
BWMeter is a powerful bandwidth meter, monitor, traffic controller and firewall, which measures, displays and controls all traffic to/from your computer or on your network. Unlike other products, it can analyze the data packets (where they come from, where they go, which port and protocol they use). This makes it possible to distinguish between local and internet traffic for example. BWMeter can also be used for traffic control by setting a speed limit for all kinds of connections or restricting access of applications to certain internet sites. It creates statistics for all computers in your network, measuring and displaying all LAN traffic as well as download / upload from the internet. You can even define filters which show your transfer with certain internet addresses (e.g. to see how much data you download from your favorite news server). BWMeter is ideal for home users to get an overview of how much bandwidth they use, as well as small to large businesses, where one computer can control the traffic and maintain the statistics of downloaded / uploaded data of all computers in the network. The product is easy to configure and offers a rich set of options and features for beginners as well as experts and network administrators.
