About CommTraffic
=================

CommTraffic is a network utility for collecting, processing, and displaying 
traffic and network utilization statistics for both LAN and dial-up computer 
network connections. When monitoring a LAN segment, CommTraffic shows traffic 
and network utilization statistics for each computer in the segment. 

CommTraffic has a highly customizable, intuitive interface that displays 
statistics in graphical and numeric form. The program's main window can be 
customized to display incoming, outgoing, and summary traffic statistics in a 
variety of styles. The program allows you to set time and traffic limits to 
reflect the rates set by your ISP. Once the limit is approached, the program 
will alert you by playing a sound and displaying a message. 

CommTraffic allows you to generate an array of reports that reflect the network 
traffic volume and Internet connection expenses. Our unmatched reporting 
capability allows you to view the traffic statistics by local hosts, remote 
hosts, IP protocols and remote/local TCP/UDP ports. The program supports 
virtually any rate plan your ISP might use, such as those based on connection 
time, traffic volume, time of the day, and other measures. This ensures that you 
are always aware of your Internet connection expenses.
