BWMeter is a powerful bandwidth meter that includes a monitor, traffic controller and firewall to display, measure and control all traffic in and out of your computer or on your network.

BWMeter has an advantage over other applications that provide a similar service because it can parse data packets; where they come from, where they go, and what port and protocol they use. The advantage of this is that you will be able to distinguish between local and internet traffic. You can also use BWMeter as a traffic controller by setting the rate limit for different types of connections.

Key features include:

• Graphical and numeric bandwidth display.
• User defined filters for bandwidth measurement.
• Monitor all network interfaces and adapters.
