January 17th, 2003 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE LASTBIT SOFTWARE RELEASES TRAFMETER 3.40 FOR WINDOWS 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP Take Full Control Over Your IP Traffic New York - LastBit Software has released version 3.40 of the TrafMeter traffic reporting and monitoring utility. TrafMeter lets users set up an unlimited number of filters for the captured traffic, defining the network packets that are used for tracking and reporting purposes. TrafMeter lets users create and use different filter rulesets for different monitoring purposes. Different rulesets can be used for single hosts, subnets, specific group of hosts such as for all hosts in your LAN, or for all hosts not in your LAN. TrafMeter also supports counting of custom IP packets with a flexible filter engine by any IP protocol (ICMP,TCP,UDP,OSPF) or by any TCP/UDP port. TrafMeter provides real-time visual presentation of traffic activity via graphic charts, with different colored lines representing different filters. This lets webmasters and administrators 'see' the Internet connection usage of different users. The bandwidth of the filtered packets can also be displayed with the graphical charts. TrafMeter can also be used as a troubleshooting tool for local networks. In addition, TrafMeter allows tracking of the network packets for the different filters, letting you analyse and comment on the monitored traffic. You can also include MAC addresses from Ethernet headers and TOS field from IP headers in your traces. TrafMeter can generate XML traffic reports for immediate viewing, or store the traffic counters in a database. TrafMeter is compatible with most popular databases (Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL) and allows you to exchange data between them using an ADO interface. What's New Traffic Reports generated in XML instead of plaintext files. This allows you to create the XML reports based on traffic counters with your custom XML style-sheets (also known as XSL files). PRICE: Shareware. Single user license version costs $49. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows 95/98/ME/NT 4.0/2000/XP. Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or Microsoft XML parser is an advantage required for XML reports.
