External and Local Networks Assistant

The application monitors the traffic in local networks and on the Internet made by the applications that run on the local station. Identifies and counters the traffic made by any application that makes traffic on the Internet. For any connection to the Internet made from the local station it is identified the application that generates traffic on the monitored network interfaces. The traffic made by each application is represented in real time with update per second. Certain applications connect to the Internet by means of another program (proxy, ex: Naviscope), by local connections, and E.L.A. identifies it and associates it with the application that generates traffic. The application separates the local traffic and that from the Internet after the setting by the user of the set of local networks. It is possible for an application to generate traffic both in local networks and on the Internet, in which case the traffic made by it is visualized and countered separately. Any modification made in the configuration of the network interfaces (changing the IP address, activation of the PPPoE connection) is detected automatically by the application. At the same time, a history of the traffic on the monitored network interfaces is accomplished. The traffic information are saved in a data base, according to the traffic on the countered time unit (minutes, hours, days). There is a window on the desktop, permanently visible, in which the total traffic, the external traffic (Internet) and that from the specified local networks are visualized. Intuitive application, with suggestive details, so that the user can easily identify an application that makes suspect traffic, traffic in local networks or even the total traffic.
