Anyone know a good network shaper?

[Anusha]

I'm looking for a Network shaper, where I can prioritize processes (or programs) on network bandwidth usage.

I want to assign low priority to Internet Download Manager and uTorrent (i.e. downloading) and high priority to Firefox (i.e. browsing) so that I can browse without any delays.

Does anyone know any programs which does this? I haven't been able to find one.

P.S.
I don't want to manually set a limit to those processes. I want to make use of all the network resources as well.

I thought NetLimiter could do that. But it doesn't intelligently do the job, by utilizing the max bandwidth.

If u use firewall like Comodo... It will show you how many bytes each soft send in/out...

TrendEasy Lite is a windows-based application that monitors the end-to-end performance and availability of web & TCP services. It is optimized for unattended operation under Windows 2000/NT/Me/98/95 platforms. TrendEasy Lite continuously monitors the end-to-end response times and completion times of web URLs (both static and dynamic pages) and all TCP service ports. Service status and performance data of web and TCP services are presented in easy-to-read reports on the admin console. When error conditions are detected or the thresholds are exceeded, TrendEasy Lite automatically dispatches alert messages on the console.

TrendEasy Lite helps you handle the enormous challenges you face: application rollout, network infrastructure changes, troubleshooting performance problems and managing service levels. By understanding the availability, response time and completion time, you are able to manage the service level for mission critical networked business applications.

Features:

* Continuously monitors the end-to-end performance and availability of Web URLs & TCP service ports.
* Capture end-to-end response time and completion time from the endpoint machine to the web server or application server. (no matter via LAN, WAN, Internet or Intranet, local or global.)
* Monitors both static and dynamic Web pages, and SSLs (i.e., HTTPs)
* Monitors all TCP ports including FTP, DNS, SMTP, POP3, Oracle SQL*Net, MS SQL Server, Lotus Notes, SAP R/3, Peoplesoft, Baan, Active Directory, Exchange, NT File/Print, LDAP, Telnet ...
* Predefine all well-known TCP services and easy to define any others by specifying the TCP port.
* No server-based services or agents needed to be loaded.
* Multiple monitoring profiles for each Web URL or TCP service.
* Tracks & reports the response time, completion time & error condition on the windows admin console.
* XML-based System Profile, Monitoring Profile, User Profile and Data Profile for higher flexibility, portability and readability.

PRTG - Paessler Router Traffic Grapher 6.0.6.601

Download

Publisher's Description
PRTG Traffic Grapher is an easy to use Windows application for monitoring and classifying bandwidth usage. It provides system administrators with live readings and long-term usage trends for their network devices.

PRTG is mainly used for bandwidth usage monitoring, but may also be used to monitor many other aspects of a network such as memory and CPU utilization. With PRTG Traffic Grapher the user receives comprehensive bandwidth and network usage data that helps to optimize the efficiency of the network.

Understanding bandwidth and resource consumption is the key to better network management: Avoid bandwidth and server performance bottlenecks; Find out what applications or what servers use up your bandwidth; Deliver better quality of service to your users by being proactive; Reduce costs by buying bandwidth and hardware according to actual load.

The Freeware Edition of PRTG Traffic Grapher is completely free for personal and commercial use and may be downloaded for free. PRTG Traffic Grapher is designed to run on a Windows machine in your network for 24 hours every day, and constantly records the network usage parameters. The recorded data is stored in an internal database for later reference.

Using an easy to use Windows interface you can configure the monitored sensors as well as create usage reports. For remote access PRTG Traffic Grapher comes with a built-in web server to provide access to graphs and tables.

All common methods for network usage data acquisition are supported:

SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol is the basic method of gathering bandwidth and network usage data. It can be used to monitor bandwidth usage of routers and switches port-by-port as well as device readings like memory, CPU load etc.

Packet Sniffing: With its built-in Packet Sniffer PRTG can inspect all network data packets passing the network card to calculate the bandwidth usage. NetFlow: The NetFlow protocol is supported by most Cisco routers to measure bandwidth usage.

Still, this is not what I want. I don't want a monitoring software. I just want something that can control the priorities of network bandwidths used by each program.

NetLimiter doesn't still support this. They say that this feature is coming in the next build. I can't wait for that to happen.
