Free Process-Traffic Monitor1.0

Free Process-Traffic Monitor is a utility made to monitor network traffic and display various network-related information about active web-based programs, such as sent and received rate, along with the CPU and memory usage.Although it may sound like a complicated application, it doesn't need extensive experience with networking software.

Hassle-free installation and user-friendly GUI

After a swift and uneventful setup operation, you are welcomed by a user-friendly interface, made from a clear-cut window split into two panes, for monitoring Internet and process traffic, respectively.

Examine network traffic

So, you can select a network adapter to check out a graph with the evolution of incoming and outgoing traffic, including used bandwidth, recorded time, and update interval. This service can be stopped and restarted with one click.

View network details about active processes

The software application also displays network details surrounding currently running processes, such as the process ID, local port, sent and received rate, as well as CPU and RAM usage. Additional columns may be displayed for the protocol, local IP address, status, priority, user name, and thread count.Plus, you can view the total sent and receive rate (in addition to the refresh interval), seamlessly stop and restart the monitor, and terminate any process. There are no other notable options available.

Evaluation and conclusion

There were no stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that the tool didn't hang, crash or prompt error dialogs. It had minimal impact on the computer's performance and showed accurate information.On the other hand, it doesn't contain richer configuration settings. For instance, it doesn't implement a feature for modifying the monitor checkup frequency. Nevertheless, Free Process-Traffic Monitor serves its purpose and can be handled with ease by anyone.
