NetLimiter is client-side traffic shaping and monitoring software for the Windows operating system.[1] Unlike most traffic-shaping utilities, which are based on centrally managed hardware, NetLimiter is a software-only solution. This has the advantage of being less expensive to deploy, but can result in being more difficult to manage its use across more than one computer.[citation needed]

While it has a significant market among more technically-minded computer users, in medium-to-large networks it becomes difficult for administrators to maintain multiple copies of configuration files.[citation needed] It is, however, useful for simulating slow links between departments showing how the applications will work when deployed to slower sites.[citation needed]

It is often lumped together with other free or shareware in articles[2] that present the reader with 'essential' applications and poweruser-type utilities.[3]

Features and versions

The software is available in three versions: the freeware Monitor and two paid for versions, Lite and Pro.[4] Monitor provides real-time monitoring and statistics. Lite provides monitoring and limits, while the Pro version includes all Monitor and Lite features together with additional features including the ability to act as a firewall, remote administration via a webpage, and filtering.

The product has its own programming interface, allowing integration with other software.[5]

Version 1.3 of the software has been criticized by cNet as using too much memory (12 MB).[6]

Version 3 was released on August 31, 2010.[7]
