Traffic Shaper XP for Windows

Traffic Shaper XP is a desktop networking program that allows users to observe and administer the traffic on their network. It provides valuable information about the active data in the network, such as sent packages, protocols, transfer direction and speed, IP addresses, connection time, MAC IDs, domain names, ports, and network adapters. This information helps network administrators identify any issues or unusual behavior in the network.

The program also offers the ability to create rules to regulate the traffic. Users can prioritize and allocate more bandwidth to specific programs or types of connections. Traffic Shaper XP provides an excellent assistant that simplifies the management of these rules.

One drawback of Traffic Shaper XP is that it may conflict with firewalls. While the developers claim to support all major firewall and server software, they cannot guarantee compatibility with every server. However, the program does support Server-Free Mode, which allows users to distribute bandwidth evenly for all clients, even without a server computer.

Overall, Traffic Shaper XP is a great tool for network administrators who are new to network management. It provides essential features for observing and controlling network traffic, although it may lack advanced protocol analyzing tools for larger networks.
