Unlike other products, it can analyze the data packets (where they come from, where they go, which port and protocol they use).

This makes it possible to distinguish between local and internet traffic for example. BWMeter can create statistics for all computers in your network, measuring and displaying all internal network traffic as well as download and upload from the internet. BWMeter is a very powerful bandwidth monitor and meter that measures and displays all traffic on your network.

You can even define filters which show your transfer with certain internet addresses (e.g. to see how much data you download from your favorite news server).
