NetLimiter is an internet traffic control and monitoring tool designed for Windows.

We can use NetLimiter to set download/upload transfer rate limits for applications or even single connection and monitor their internet traffic.

Netlimiter also offers comprehensive set of internet statistical tools. It includes real-time traffic measurement and long-term per-application internet traffic statistics.

1. Network Monitor

NetLimiter shows list of all applications communicating over network. It will show connections, transfer-rates and more.

2. Bandwidth-Limiter/Bandwidth Shaper

You can use NetLimiter to set download or upload transfer rate limits for applications, connections or groups of them.
With limits we can easily manage internet connection?s bandwidth (bandwidth shaper or bandwidth controller)

This feature lets you to track your internet traffic history since you've installed NetLimiter.

4.Additional network information

NetLimiter 2 provides you with and additional information like WHOIS, traceroute etc.

5. Rule scheduler (and more...)

Remote administration, Personal firewall, Running as WinNT service, User rights, Chart, Advanced Rule editor and scheduler, Zone based traffic management...

MAIN FEATURES:

- Limits

We can use NetLimiter to set download/upload transfer rate limits for applications/connections. With limits we can easily manage our internet connection?s bandwidth (bandwidth shaper) and share it among all applications running on your computer.

- Grants

When we set grant for application/connection then it means that we grant specified bandwidth for it. If other application/connections take too much bandwidth, then it is taken from them and is given to application/connection with granted bandwidth.

- Network monitor

NetLimiter shows list of all applications communicating over network  with their connections and transfer rates.

- Personal firewall functionality

We can allow/deny certain applications to connect to/from any network.

- Zones

NetLimiter monitors and controls traffic separately on three predefined zones - My Computer, Local Network and Internet. For example, we can limit the traffic rate of our browser downloading from the Internet and let it download from intranet at full speed.

- Filters

With filters we can define groups of connections/applications and then apply rules to them.

- Rule editor and scheduler

Rule editor helps us to create advanced rules. For example, we can create limit/firewall rule for a group of applications which is valid only in a given time interval.

- Network manager

Using Network manager we can assign networks present on you computer to NetLimiter zones. It's also possible to add your own networks.

- Statistics


NetLimiter stats module is intended for long-term measurement of internet traffic. This feature lets us to track our internet traffic history since we have installed NetLimiter. NetLimiter is able to automatically export statistical data to disk.

- Traffic chart

Traffic chart shows application's or connection's real time activity.

- Remote administration

We can control and monitor other computers remotely from one place.
