Network Monitoring is a very essential task for any Internet Connection user because the service providers may be reporting some false usage reports which *MAY* be setup to over charge you. Hence using tools like Netstat<\/a> you can easily monitor all the incoming and outgoing data from your computer and give you a report for the same. The tool can also help you in finding the speed of your network connection<\/a> and also in finding out if you are really getting the speed which the ISP is promising.<\/p>\n

The AnalogX NetStat Live (or NSL) can be installed very easily on your computer and once you run the application, the reporting starts. Netstat would display you the last 60seconds data along with the averages of the data transfer rate and the total amount of data send from the computer since the last reboot along with the maximum data transfer rate. You don’t have to configure any hard network related settings because it automatically performs all the tasks and reports you as shown below.<\/p>\n

Start -> All Programs -> AnalogX -> Netstat Live -> Netstat Live<\/p>\n

\"AnalogX<\/a><\/p>\n

In order to change and customize the application you need to right click on it and click on Configure option which will show you a list of few options as shown below.<\/p>\n

\"Configure<\/a><\/p>\n

The complete statistics are displayed in different sections on the basis of the following :<\/p>\n

Local Machine: This shows the current machine name, IP address, and network interface being monitored
\nRemote Machine: This shows information regarding a remote machine, including average ping time and number of hops
\nIncoming Totals: This shows totals for the incoming data
\nIncoming: This shows the total amount of data on the incoming (download) channel
\nOutgoing Totals: This shows totals for the outgoing data
\nOutgoing: This shows the total amount of data on the outgoing (upload) channel
\nThreads: This shows the total number of threads currently running in the system
\nCPU: This graphs the CPU load<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These kind of tools are very useful in finding out your monthly broadband usage and also useful when you are accessing the internet on a limited download based connection. Do let us know if you find any other software’s which offer features similar to this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
